"All-out cooperation should be extended to the university authorities so that the Ducsu elections can be held in a peaceful and festive environment," the press secretary quoted the chief adviser as saying.
Defeated and cornered fascist forces are becoming increasingly desperate as the country moves toward elections and the trials of those involved in the July massacre are being expedited, Prof Yunus said.
"This is not just a law and order issue; it is a matter of national security. They are out with all their strength to disrupt peace, stability, and the democratic progress of the nation," he added.
The press secretary said that the chief adviser also warned of possible conspiracies to create unrest during the upcoming Durga Puja.
At the meeting, the Ministry of Religious Affairs was directed to hold meetings with all faith-based organizations in the country to maintain communal harmony, he said, adding, the religious affairs adviser will soon sit with these groups.
