Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal
A central committee meeting of Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal (JSD) was held at the party office in the city. Information Minister Hasanul Haq Inu was present as the chief guest in the programme held on Friday. While speaking Inu said that there was no middle path between being pro-Pakistani and pro-Bangladeshi. He said the pro-Pakistani elements were promoting militant and communal politics, so without defeating them the country could not progress. Inu said that the pro-Pakistani trend had to be defeated electorally in the 2018 general election. The minister said there was no alternative but to raise the voice of the 14-parties’ workers even higher to consolidate the economic gains that the country had made and further consolidate it and end corruption, disparity and subversive elements to bring a qualitative change in the politics of the country.
