Download PDF Eminent jurist and Gono Forum President Dr Kamal Hossain yesterday called for national unity to build a terrorism-free country and face national challenges.
“Unity is the answer to all questions. If we want democracy, student politics without terrorism, an accountable government, rule of law and equal rights for all, unity among citizens is a must”, said Dr Kamal, also convener of Jatiay Oikya Mancha (JOM), while speaking as the chief guest at a discussion at a local restaurant in Rajshahi.
“People of the country have never tolerated anarchy. They sacrificed their lives for a honourable life. Although we drove out colonial rulers long ago, we are yet to be freed from disparity,” he said.
In history, no party could always remain at top. Muslim League was a major political party but it suffered huge defeat in the elections in 1954, Dr Kamal said.
“Those who go to the parliament should keep in mind that people are the source of all power and they are representatives of people,” he said.
The Gono Forum president said vested quarters engage students in crime and violence for political gains.
“We have to be united against those evil forces that are engaging our children in crime and violence in educational institutions. It is our responsibility to resist them,” he said.
Dr Kamal will attend another discussion at Chapainawabganj today.
Rajshahi district JOM Convener Muhammad Yahiya, Pankaj Bhattacharya, Abdur Rouf, Subrata Chowdhury, Mostafa Mohsin Montu, Bijoy Kumar Talukdar, Rabindranath Saren and Abdul Matin Khan, among others, were present.
