Khelafat remarks protested
Karmojibi Nari (KN), in a statement yesterday, resented the demand of Khelafat Andolon in a dialogue with the chief adviser on Saturday that no woman can become the head of the state.
Protesting the demand, President of Karmojibi Nari Shirin Akhter and General Secretary Sharmin Kabir said the speech of Khelafat Andolon leaders is quite offensive and ill-motivated.
While demands were raised from across the country for women empowerment, the speech of Khelafat leaders goes against the spirit.
Such speech also goes against the constitution and the state policy, the KN leaders said, adding that the country's legal system does not bar women's participation in state affairs. They asked the leaders of Khelafat Andolon to withdraw their ill-motivated demands, says a press release.
