On behalf of the government, Education Adviser Professor C R Abrar visited the bereaved family in Mymensingh on Tuesday to convey the government’s sympathy and assurance of support during this difficult time. During the visit, he spoke with Rabilal Das, the father of Dipu Chandra Das, among others. The Education Adviser reiterated that the killing was a heinous criminal act with no justification and no place in Bangladeshi society. Allegations, rumours, or differences of belief can never excuse violence, and no individual has the right to take the law into their own hands, he said. He also reaffirmed the Interim Government’s unwavering commitment to the rule of law, assuring the family that the authorities would investigate all alleged offences and ensure justice through due process. Law enforcement agencies have arrested 12 individuals in connection with the crime. Investigations are ongoing, and the Interim Government has directed that the case be pursued fully and without exception. Such acts of violence will be met with the full force of the law, the adviser said. The government remains fully committed to ensuring the safety, dignity, and equal protection of all citizens, regardless of religion, ethnicity, or background. It calls upon all communities, institutions, and leaders to reject violence, resist attempts to create division or unrest, and uphold restraint, humanity, and respect for the law, he told the family. On behalf of the Office of the Chief Adviser, Professor Abrar confirmed that financial and welfare assistance would be provided to the family of Dipu Chandra Das and that the relevant authorities would remain in close contact with them in the coming period. The adviser reiterated the Interim Government’s resolve to protect all citizens and to ensure that justice is served.

UK minister calls on Chief Adviser DHAKA, November 14: Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus has reaffirmed his government’s commitment to ensuring that the upcoming general election will be free, fair, and inclusive. He made the remarks on Thursday evening during a meeting with visiting British Minister for International Development Baroness Jenny Chapman at the State Guest House Jamuna in Dhaka. During their discussions, the two leaders covered a wide range of issues, including the February general election, tackling illegal migration, boosting trade, the Rohingya crisis, and enhancing cooperation in aviation and maritime sectors. Professor Yunus reiterated that the election would be held on schedule in the first half of February, emphasizing that it would be inclusive and participatory, with a large voter turnout expected. “The election will be participatory. There will be a big turnout,” he said, adding that tens of millions of young people are expected to cast their first ballots, as they had no opportunity to vote during three rigged general elections during the 16 year long autocracy. The Chief Adviser said the Awami League would not be able to take part in the polls as its activities have been suspended under the country’s anti-terrorism laws, and the Election Commission has subsequently removed the party from the official list of registered political parties. The Chief Adviser said the July Charter would mark “a new beginning” for Bangladesh, reflecting the aspirations of millions who took part in the historic July–August uprising last year. Minister Chapman thanked Professor Yunus for his leadership since assuming charge of Interim Government, and commended the ongoing dialogue between the National Consensus Commission and political parties over the July Charter. Chapman expressed concern about the abuse of the UK asylum system by migrants from countries, including Bangladesh, and stressed the importance of safe and legal migration while curbing exploitation. Professor Yunus agreed, emphasizing that his government is committed to ensuring safe migration and encouraging more Bangladeshis to seek employment abroad through legal channels. The two leaders also discussed the Rohingya crisis and the need for continued humanitarian support for more than a million refugees living in camps in Bangladesh. “The young people in the camps are growing up without hope — angry and frustrated. We must ensure they receive education,” Professor Yunus said. The meeting also highlighted opportunities to boost trade and cooperation between Dhaka and London. The Chief Adviser noted that Bangladesh is purchasing a British research vessel to conduct maritime studies in the Bay of Bengal. Minister Chapman called for stronger aviation ties between the two nations, adding that the head of Airbus International is expected to visit Bangladesh soon. Also present at the meeting were National Security Adviser Dr. Khalilur Rahman, SDG Coordinator Lamiya Morshed, and British High Commissioner to Bangladesh Sarah Cooke.
