Gatherings, concerts and prayer sessions took place in the capital, Dhaka on Tuesday while the inhabitants of the South Asian nation celebrated What many called the country’s “second release” After its independence from Pakistan in 1971.
The birthday culminated with Yunus, the 85 -year -old Nobel Peace Prize prize chairing the democratic overhaul of Bangladesh, announcing that he would write to the chief election commissioner asking that the national elections be organized before Ramadan in February.
“We are going to enter the final and most important phase after having delivered this speech, and it is the transfer of power to an elected government,” he said.
Yunus had previously declared that the elections would take place in April, but that the main political parties demanded that he have detained them earlier and before the Sacred Islamic month in the Muslim majority of 170 million people.
“On behalf of the government, we will extend all the support necessary to ensure that the elections are free, peaceful and buttocks in mind,” added the interim chief.

Protests against the Hasina regulation began on July 1, 2024, university students calling for changes to a quota system for public sector jobs. They culminated on August 5, 2024, when thousands of demonstrators stormed the Hasina palace as it escaped by the helicopter.
Hasina, 77, fled to India and stays there. She challenged judicial orders to attend her current trial for accusations showing crimes against humanity.
On Tuesday, Yunus called on people to seize the “opportunity” of reform. He also warned of people who, according to him, sought to undermine the gains of the nation, saying: “The fallen autocrats and their selfish allies remain active, conspired to derail our progress.”
“Dialogue continues with political parties and stakeholders on the necessary reforms, including political and electoral systems,” he added.

The police were on alert throughout the city with armored vehicles that are patrolling the streets to dissuade any attempt from the Awami League Festival in Hasina to disrupt the events of the day.
