Left-leaning alliance vows countrywide movement

A section of left-leaning political parties will wage a countrywide movement to change the country's existing political culture that has been regulated by the ruling Awami League and the opposition BNP for many years.
They made the decision at a views exchange meeting organised by Gonotantrik Bam Morcha (Democratic Left Alliance) at its office in the capital yesterday.
Addressing the programme, most of the speakers said the 14-party grand alliance government has failed to run the state, as it is yet to fulfil the electoral pledges.
They also expressed resentment over the “absurd remarks” on different issues made by some ministers, which are not compatible with the prime minister's remarks.
Biplobi Workers Party General Secretary Saiful Haque said the BNP-Jamaat alliance government and Fakhruddin-led caretaker government also failed to run the state appropriately.
He announced a daylong programme on August 4 in the capital with participation of grassroots leaders and activists of the left-leaning alliance.
Zonayed Saki, coordinator of the alliance, presided over the programme while Gonotantrik Biplobi Party leader Moshrefa Mishu, Biplobi Chhatra Moitri President Bappaditya Basu addressed the event, among others.
