BSS, Dhaka :
Information Minister Hasanul Haq Inu urged the nation to boycott the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) and its chief Begum Khaleda Zia from the politics for making the country free from communalism.
“The BNP and its chief Begum Zia have taken the side of militant group and the war crimes, so the people should leave BNP and its chief from the politics for betterment of the country,” he said this on Friday while addressing as the special guest at two-day 9th National Tri-annial conference organized by Bangladesh Hindu Buddhist Chiristian Oikya Parishad (BHBCP) at the Institute of Engineering, Bangladesh (IEB) here.
Inu recalled the contribution of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and said “If we could protect the constitution which was enacted by Bangabandhu after the Independence then the conference like this hardly required to be hold in the country.”
Criticizing the activities of the then military government who assumed power after the assassination of Bangabandhu , the Information Minister said various types of fundamentalism and the evil force of communalism have emerged in the country due to amendment of the constitution repeatedly by the military autocrats.
Earlier, noted economist Professor Rehman Sobhan inaugurated the conference and said Bangabandhu’s dream was that there will be no discriminations among the people in the country.
So, he [Father of the Nation] had ensured equal rights for all the citizens in the constitution after the Independence, said Prof Rehman who also was a former finance advisor to the Bangladesh government in exile.
He, however, said a vested quarters had ravaged the Bangabandhu’s dream by amending the constitution repeatedly.
BHBCP’s general secretary Rana Das Gupta gave the welcome address while BHBCP’s executive committee President Hew But Gomes was in the chair. Jatiya Party Vice Chairman GM Quader, among others, spoke on the occasion.
