All anti-fascist groups must remain united against the defeated forces' attempt to sabotage the upcoming election through creating chaos, Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus said on Saturday.
"If all the forces of the uprising cannot hold a good election together, this great opportunity will be lost to us," the chief adviser said during an exchange of views with top leaders of various political parties at the State Guesthouse Jamuna.
He said the defeated forces were creating various kinds of chaos whenever they got the opportunity.
"Whenever we are moving forward with preparations for the elections, various conspiracies are coming to the fore. But the reality is that no conspiracy can hinder the democratic progress. Because the unity of all democratic forces on the issue of fascism is clear," said the chief advisor.
He expected the cooperation of all political parties in organising fair elections.
The political leaders present also assured the chief advisor of all-out cooperation.
The meeting was attended by political leaders of 14 parties, including Aminul Haque Tipu Biswas of the National People's Front; Mostafa Jamal Haider from the 12-party alliance; Maulana Abdul Majed Athari of the Nizam-e-Islam Party; Maulana Yusuf Ashraf of the Khelafat Majlis; Fariduzzaman Farhad, Chairman of the NPP; Syed Ehsanul Huda, Chairman of the Bangladesh Jatiya Dal; Mushtaq Hossain of JaSaD; Bobby Hajjaj of the Nationalist Democratic Movement; Shamim Haider, Secretary General of the Zaker Party; Mufti Sakhawat Hossain Raji, Secretary General of the Islami Oikya Jote; Rafiqul Islam Bablu, Chairman of the Bhasani Janashakti Party; Mostafizur Rahman Iran, Chairman of the Bangladesh Labour Party; Masud Rana, Coordinator of Socialist Party of Bangladesh (Marxist); and Manjurul Islam Afandi of Jamiat Ulama-e-Islam
