Yunus Urges 'Yes' Vote in Bangladesh Referendum for Reform Package

• Interim government chief Muhammad Yunus appealed for a 'Yes' vote in the February 12 referendum to back his proposed reform package.
• Yunus stated a 'Yes' vote would ensure a positive future for Bangladesh and keep 'misrule' away.
• Commercial banks displayed 'Yes' vote banners, and the central bank asked banks to use CSR funds for NGO campaigns supporting the referendum.
• The referendum seeks public consent on the 84-point 'July National Charter-2025,' announced by Yunus on October 17.
• Legal experts questioned the referendum's legitimacy, citing no constitutional provision and the interim government's partisan role.
