Dhaka University Central Students’ Union (Ducsu) has announced a month-long program comprising 15 events across the country to ensure the victory of the "Yes" vote in the upcoming national referendum. The initiatives aim to increase public awareness and participation in the referendum under the pro-reforms slogan, “Vote ‘Yes’, Choose a Safe Bangladesh.”The programs were announced on Wednesday at a press conference held in front of the Ducsu building. Ducsu Vice President (VP) Shadik Kayem outlined the month-long plan at the briefing. He described the referendum as a historic pathway to implementing those reforms, adding that participating in the referendum and casting a ‘Yes’ vote is a responsibility to uphold the sacred legacy of the blood of the July martyrs. At the same time, it would help end the culture of enforced disappearances, extrajudicial killings, secret detention centres, and other human rights violations.
