A ‘tainted and so-called’ national election has buried democracy in Bangladesh, Gano Forum President Kamal Hossain says.
The veteran lawyer, who leads the coalition Jatiya Oikya Front as its convener, made the remarks on Saturday (Mar 9) at a meeting of his party’s policymaking presidium.
The people of the country will surely protect the country from this destruction, he said before adding, “The national unity must be cemented and intensified to restore democracy, the rule of law and people’s voting rights.”
He said people are active to get rid of the current situation. “We’ll have to work in this regard.”
At the meeting, the Gono Forum presidium members decided to hold the party’s national council on April 27 in the capital instead of March 23.
Earlier on January 12, the party announced to hold the council on March 23-24.
