The elections can be delayed for a few months for reforms,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will leave after some days,\u201d Prof Yunus said, requesting everyone, regardless of party affiliation, gender, religion, young and old, students, businessmen, workers, farmers, to remain firm on this so that the nation does not miss the historic opportunity that has been created. \u201cI hope you will accept my appeal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One of the first six reform commissions is the Election Reform Commission and the recommendations of this commission are very important for holding the elections, said the chief adviser.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGo to their (commission\u2019s) platform. Share your opinion freely. You are the owner of the country. You say what you want. How you want,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The chief adviser urged the people to keep speaking without any hesitation about elections. \u201cShare everyone&#8217;s thoughts. My request to you all is to talk about reforms at the same time. Do not avoid reforms. While talking about elections, you also talk about reforms in elections and other areas,\u201d he said, adding that reforms are the long-term lifeline of the nation.<\/p>\n<p>Reforms will give the nation, especially our youth, an opportunity to create a new world. Do not deprive the nation.<\/p>\n<p>On constitutional reforms, Prof Yunus said the commission in which the opinions of political parties and all the people of the country are essential in organizing elections is the Constitution Reform Commission.<\/p>\n<p>He said the electoral laws will have to be amended based on which part of these recommendations is acceptable to everyone. \u201cIn parallel, the process of updating the voters\u2019 list will continue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The chief adviser said the question of when the elections will be held is also on their mind all the time.<\/p>\n<p>He said the Election Commission will be able to start some other work, including updating the voters\u2019 list, which is directly related to a free election.<\/p>\n<p>Prof Yunus said the government is also working to ensure that expatriate Bangladeshis can exercise their voting rights through postal ballots for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever, we do not think that our responsibility in holding the elections ends with the formation of an Election Commission. Reforms in the state system are one of the commitments of this government,\u201d Prof Yunus said, adding that \u201cYou are the ones who gave us this mandate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The chief adviser said the six reform commissions that the government formed at the beginning have already advanced to a large extent with their activities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou are also seeing updates on their activities in various media outlets. Some reform commissions have digital platforms. I request you to continue to share your opinions enthusiastically on these platforms,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-add text-center hidden-xs\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RN Desk: Highlighting the importance reforms before the next national elections, Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus on Sunday pledged that they will hold the desired elections on completion of some necessary reforms. \u201cI am not sure how much opportunity we will get to implement the reform proposals.
