Election would be held once reform works become visible: Mahfuj Alam

The interim government’s adviser, Mahfuj Alam, said on Thursday the much-desired national election would be held once the reform works become visible.

He made remarks while responding to a question at a media briefing at the Foreign Service Academy in the evening.

Environment, Forest and Climate Change Adviser Syeda Rizwana Hasan, who was present at the briefing, said, the election is the ultimate goal and the government wants the election after necessary reforms as soon as possible.

Chief Adviser’s Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam was also present.

Rizwana Hasan said there has been no discussion at the meeting of the Council of Advisers regarding banning any organisation as they differentiate the responsibility of an organisation and an individual.
