CA to decide referendum date soon: Asif Nazrul

Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus will soon make a decision regarding the date of the referendum, Law Adviser Asif Nazrul said on Thursday.

He made the remark amid the opposing stances of the BNP and the Jamaat-e-Islami on the referendum issue.

The adviser was addressing a press conference held at the Foreign Service Academy in Dhaka following a meeting of the Advisory Council.

Mentioning that political parties are at loggerheads over the timing of the referendum, Asif Nazrul said, “The chief adviser will make the decision. We will work under his leadership and provide our full support. Rest assured, the decision will not be made by any particular individual. The chief adviser will decide on it, which will be made very soon.”
