Dr Kamal vows to resist any move against poll roadmap

Gono Forum President Dr Kamal Hossain yesterday said they would resist any attempts to hinder the present caretaker government announced electoral roadmap.
"A derailed train has been put on the line again. We will have to work together so that the train does not derail again and can reach its destination on time. We will be united so that none can derail the train from the lines," said Kamal after a bilateral meeting with Parbattya Chattagram Jana Sanghati Samiti (PCJSS) held at his Bailey Road home in the capital.
Briefing newsmen, the Gono Forum president said, "If anyone wants to obstruct the train, we will resist it."
Kamal hoped that the government would hold a really free and fair election as per the announced electoral roadmap so that people could elect honest and competent people.
Kamal said they held the meeting with PCJSS as part of his party's move to hold a "national dialogue" to form a national unity in order to establish a meaningful democracy to which the PCJSS could contribute.
He said a national unity is needed to face national challenges and such unity has been established against corruption, terrorism, militancy, and politicisation among other issues.
He underscored the need for dialogues within political parties, civil society, women's organisations, and people of all walks of life in order to move the country forward.
Asked whether the constitution permits formation of a government based on national consensus, Kamal kept mum.
Briefing reporters, PCJSS chief Jyotirindra Bodhipriya Larma (Shantu Larma) said democratic system has to be established in the country. He said a national unity is needed at present in the country so that all including them could play their role in establishing a meaningful democracy.
