Jatiya Oikyafront convener Dr Kamal Hossain on Saturday urged the people to get united and take to the street to restore their ownership of the country.
“I think we shouldn’t only hold such meetings. We must take to the streets to launch a united movement inspiring people to play their due role and drive out those captured power on the eve of 50 years of independence,” he said.
Speaking at a protest rally at Dhaka Reports Unity (DRU) yesterday,
the Oikyafront chief also said that their alliance would launch a united movement to drive out those grabbed power, depriving people of their rights.
Dr Kamal said that the celebration of the golden jubilee of Bangladesh’s independence by the current government depriving people of their ownership of the country would be nothing but a farce.
“It’s a shame that people are still deprived of their power even when the country’s 50 years of independence are going to be completed. We can’t accept it that the government has usurped power by force depriving people of their rights,” he said.
Dr Kamal, also president of Gonoforum, said: “The government is now campaigning that they’ll celebrate 50 years of independence this year. But it must be celebrated unitedly. The celebration by depriving people of their ownership of the country will just be a farce.”
Jatiya Oikyafront arranged the programme at the DRU protesting the imprisonment of BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia on her two years in jail.
Dr Kamal said they want to softly call upon the government to quit. “There’s no point of calling upon this government to resign, we must kick them out.”
The Gonoforum president said that the people would no longer accept the current government’s efforts to give autocracy an institutional shape. “They won’t accept the way of corruption, misrule and repression are going on.”
He demanded the government immediately release BNP Chief Khaleda Zia from jail. “It’s regrettable that we still need to seek the release of a state prisoner even after 48 years of independence.”
Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal (JSD) President ASM Rab said, if the government wants to leave throne smoothly should have release Khaleda Zia. Otherwise, mass movement will upraise.
In the programme, BNP Standing Committee Member Dr Abdul Moin Khan said, during BNP regime it did not behave with Awami League, what they are doing now.
Nagorik Oikya Convener Mahmudur Rahman Manna said, there is no money anywhere in the country. So the government is looting money from banks.
Founder of Gonoshasthaya Kendra Dr Zafrullah Chowdhury said that it would not right to participate in any election under this government if they would not release Khaleda Zia.
Gano Forum Executive President Advocate Subrata Chowdhury, Moshin Rashid Khan, Bikalpodhara Bangladesh Chairman Nurul Amin, Nagorik Oikya’s Shadullah Kayser, among others, spoke at the programme.
