Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Secretary General and former MP Mia Golam Parwar has called on voters to support the upcoming referendum, saying a ‘yes’ vote will help build a society free from discrimination and corruption.

He made the remarks as the chief guest at the Shahpur Union Ward representative meeting held at the Government Shahpur Madhugram College Auditorium in Dumuria Upazila of Khulna-5 constituency on Tuesday.

Parwar highlighted the July Charter, prepared jointly by political parties to reform the state system.
“This charter aims to create a governance structure that is transparent, balanced in power, free from corruption, non-discriminatory, and protective of citizens’ rights. In the upcoming referendum, we urge people to vote ‘yes’ in favor of these reforms,” he said.

He added, “‘Yes’ must prevail. Voting ‘yes’ means rejecting corruption, fascism, partisanship, and suppression of dissent, while affirming justice, voting rights, democracy, and the rule of law.”
The meeting was presided over by Khulna Dumuria Upazila Nayeb Amir Gazi Saifullah and conducted by Upazila Youth President BM Alamgir Hossain.
