Several important decisions have been taken at the second high-level meeting on law and order ahead of the national elections.
The meeting was held recently at the State Guest House Jamuna under the chairmanship of Chief Advisor Professor Muhammad Yunus. It was attended by high officials of the law enforcement agencies.
According to media reports, the meeting decided that as part of preparations for the parliamentary elections, 150,000 police members will be given special training on elections between September and November.
About 60,000 army personnel will serve as a striking force to control the law and order situation during the elections.
A ‘National Information Center’ will be formed to prevent rumors and false information. There will also be a reshuffle in the administration ahead of the elections.
With these decisions, it can be said that preparations for the national elections have begun.
It is learned that work is also underway to strengthen coordination among government agencies to conduct the elections smoothly.
One of the most important factors in conducting any election in a fair and impartial manner is the law and order situation.
It is essential to ensure that people can exercise their right to vote without any hindrance.
It is a relief that the government is making security preparations for the upcoming parliamentary elections and has begun working to strengthen coordination among agencies.
Many have expressed concerns about whether the upcoming elections will be able to be conducted smoothly due to the obstruction of conspirators.
The country has not had fair elections for many years. One of the goals of the July uprising was to restore people’s right to vote and re-establish democracy.
We want the government formed through the elections must consolidate the foundation of democracy through appropriate reforms so that dictatorship never arises in the country again.
The country’s 13th parliamentary election is expected to be held in the first half of February. It is expected that the Chief Advisor will announce the election date in an address to the nation in early August.
Needless to say, the first task of the interim government is to create an environment for holding national elections and complete them on time. Otherwise, there is a risk of the political crisis taking on a different dimension.
It is hoped that the interim government will be able to return the country to a fair democratic path through a fair and smooth election.
