Yunus focuses on mechanisms to hold free, fair polls

Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus has stressed the need for establishing a mechanism so that everyone in Bangladesh can vote freely and fairly, without any interruptions or threats.
He put the emphasis during a one-on-one conversation with the founder of the World Economic Forum Klaus Schwab at the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos on Thursday.
While sharing the background stories of the July mass uprising with the global audience, the Chief Adviser said the students took to the streets in Bangladesh in the July last year with a simple demand-equal opportunity for jobs.
He narrated how the students during their protest painted graffiti on the walls of Dhaka, expressing their desires and dreams.
Dr Yunus said all the young people who became voters over the last 16 years did not get a chance to vote, which is very unfortunate.
