Chief Adviser’s Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam reaffirmed the government’s commitment to holding the 13th national parliamentary elections in the first half of February next year while brushing aside the confusion deliberately created by the allies of the fallen government.
“Some beneficiaries from the fallen government are spreading confusion over the election. Somehow benefitted by the ousted government, their claims will not yield anything. Elections will be held in the first half of February,” he said.
He made the remarks while speaking to journalists at Netrakona Circuit House on Friday.
The press secretary emphasised that the media, as the fourth pillar of the state, plays a crucial role in conveying accurate and positive messages about the government’s activities to the public.
He urged the journalists to work towards strengthening mutual trust and understanding between the government and the media. He also noted that responsible and constructive journalism can bring positive changes in society.
During the discussion, journalists talked about different issues, opportunities, and professional challenges, while providing various suggestions to improve the standards of journalism.
