According to Amir Khosru Mahmud Chowdhury, it's now important to reach out to the country's masses irrespective of political ideologies. He underscored the fact that the upcoming elections must be held in a consolidated and united way and all unresolved issues must be settled down with the participation of the country's all citizens.
