Alam said the chief adviser will meet the leaders of BNP, Jamaat and NCP tomorrow separately to discuss the current situation and the upcoming national election.
"The meeting with BNP will be held at 3pm, while with Jamaat and NCP at 4:30pm and 6pm respectively," he added.
Responding to a question, the press secretary said no conspiracy can stop the government from holding the election as planned in February next year.
Earlier today, in a statement issued by the CA Press Wing, the interim government called for unity among all political and social forces that took part in the July Uprising.
"This unity is essential to protect the gains of our struggle, to resist all conspiracies against the people's mandate, and to ensure our successful transition to democracy."
The statement further said, "The government reaffirms in the strongest possible terms that the national election will be held on time, in the first half of February 2026. This is the solemn commitment of the government to the people of Bangladesh."
"All conspiracies, obstructions, or attempts to delay or derail the election will be firmly resisted by the interim government and our democracy-loving patriotic people. The people's will shall prevail, and no evil force will be allowed to undermine our march to democracy," it added.
The government also strongly condemned the brutal attack on Nurul Haque Nur, president of the Gono Odhikar Parishad and a prominent leader of the July Uprising.
"Such acts of violence are an assault not only on Mr. Nur but also on the spirit of the democratic movement that brought the nation together in its historic struggle for justice and accountability," said the statement.
It stated that the government assures the people of Bangladesh that a thorough and impartial investigation into this "heinous incident" will be conducted with utmost urgency.
"No individual, regardless of influence or position, will be spared from accountability. Justice will be delivered transparently and swiftly," read the statement.
