DHAKA, Sept 21, 2025 (BSS) - Home Adviser Lieutenant General (Retd.) Md 
Jahangir Alam Chowdhury has reiterated that the upcoming general election 
will be held in a festive and peaceful manner.

"I can tell you that the next general election will be held in a festive and 
peaceful manner," he said.

The adviser made the remarks today while replying to a question from 
journalists how the next election will be after coming out of the 14th 
meeting on law and order of the advisory council at Home Ministry in 
Bangladesh Secretariat here.

It is usual that one or two small incidents happened during the election, he 
said, adding, "But, we are trying our best to check such incidents in the 
upcoming 13th parliamentary elections slated for February this year."

Replying to a question about media reports over uncertainty of the next 
general polls, the home adviser said the country is independent and the media 
as well.

"So, you can speak freely which you didn't prior to the July uprising," he 
said.
