Recently, a statement claiming, “Reforms will take 3 years, no elections before that,” attributed to interim government advisor for law, justice, and parliamentary affairs Asif Nazrul, has been circulating on social media through a digital banner.

Fact-Check

The Rumor Scanner team’s investigation revealed that Asif Nazrul did not make any such comment. The widely circulated claim lacks any credible evidence and appears to be spread on social media without verification.
Initial research using relevant keywords found no supporting information from media outlets or credible sources regarding the claim. Additionally, a review of Asif Nazrul’s official Facebook page yielded no evidence of such a statement. Typically, if an advisor of the interim government made a statement of this nature, it would be covered by mainstream media. Since no such information was found, the claim can reasonably be considered baseless.
Further investigation traced the origin of the claim. Using Facebook monitoring tools, the Rumor Scanner team identified a post published on January 6 from a Facebook page named "Nusrat Fariha." The post featured a digital banner with the contentious statement, but it did not cite any source or reference.
This suggests that the claim originated without any reliable basis. It subsequently gained traction on social media as if it were Asif Nazrul’s statement.
In conclusion, the claim that Asif Nazrul commented, “Reforms will take 3 years, no elections before that,” is false and unsubstantiated.
