Adviser of former caretaker government Advocate Sultana Kamal on Friday said the culture of impunity and procrastination in executing court’s judgement are behind the rising of communal violence in the country.

Triennial National Conference of Bangladesh Women Unity Council held at the city’s Jatiya Press Club on Friday.
Former President of Bangladesh Women Unity Council Sabritri Bhattacharya and former General Secretary of the Council Manju Dhar spoke in the programme. President of the Council Jayanti Ray presided over it.
“The incidents of communal violence are increasing day by day. On an average, about three to five incidents of communal violence are happening in the country every day. But unfortunately there is a rare example of giving exemplary punishment to the culprits,” Sultana Kamal said.
“If there were proper justice, identification of the criminals and giving of exemplary punishments, then such incidents would not have happened,” she said adding that the state has failed to play its expected role to ensure security of its people from the hands of fanatics.
Stating that patriarchal society always tries to dominate women, Sultana said urging the women to be aware of their rights and speed up the movement against communal violence unitedly.
Announcing the subjective committee of the council, advocate Rana Dasgupta, General Secretary of Bangladesh Hindu Buddhist & Christian Unity Council, said the Constitution of the country is being made communed.
According to the Constitution of the country, everyone has equal right , he said, it is not possible to build Bangladesh as dreamt by Bangabandhu Sheikh Muzibur Rahman with communal forces.
