Adilur vows to resist ‘remaining fascist forces’ at any cost
Speaking about his ministry’s activities ahead of the polls, he said there was a limited scope for undertaking major initiatives as the election schedule had already been announced.
Industries and Local Government Engineering Department (LGED) Adviser Adilur Rahman Khan today (14 December) said the government would resist what he termed 'remaining fascist forces' in the country at any cost.
He made the remarks at his office at the Local Government Ministry in the Secretariat on his first working day after assuming his new responsibilities.
Replying to a question about the political environment ahead of the upcoming elections and the prospects of ensuring a fair atmosphere, Adilur said, "We will suppress the remaining fascist forces in the country and resist them. This government will stand by the July revolution fighters to protect the interests of the people of Bangladesh."

Speaking about his ministry's activities ahead of the polls, he said there was a limited scope for undertaking major initiatives as the election schedule had already been announced.
"Other than routine work, there is not much scope for new initiatives. We will try to carry out day-to-day activities and ensure that people receive the services they are entitled to," he added.
Asked about his plans after taking charge from the previous adviser, Adilur said discussions would be held with all concerned before deciding on future steps.
"We will sit together, discuss matters and then decide the way forward. The two ministries have been operating in a certain manner, and we will try to continue that process," he said.
When asked about the shooting of an aspiring election candidate following the announcement of the election schedule, the adviser declined to comment.
