Online Desk: An unscheduled meeting of the Advisory Council was held on Saturday, following the meeting of the Executive Committee of National Economic Council. The two-hour long meeting included detailed discussions on three primary responsibilities entrusted to the interim government – elections, reforms, and justice.
Presided over by Chief Advisor Professor Muhammad Yunus, the meeting took place at the Planning Commission at Sher-e-Bangla Nagar.
The Council discussed how unreasonable demands, deliberately provocative and jurisdictionally overreaching statements, and disruptive programmes have been continuously obstructing the normal functioning environment and creating confusion and suspicion among the public.
The Advisory Council believes that a broader unity is essential to maintain national stability, organise a free and fair elections, justice, and reform, and permanently prevent the return of authoritarianism in the country.
On this matter, the Interim Government will listen to the views of political parties and clarify its own position.
Despite all obstacles, the Interim Government continues to fulfil its responsibilities by putting national interests above group interests. However, if—under the instigation of defeated forces or as part of a foreign conspiracy—the performance of these responsibilities becomes impossible, the government will present all reasons to the public and then take the necessary steps with the people.
The Interim Government upholds the public expectations of the July Uprising. But if the government’s autonomy, reform efforts, justice process, fair election plan, and normal operations are obstructed to the point of making its duties unmanageable, it will, with the people, take the necessary steps.
