Dr Kamal stresses healthy politics
Eminent jurist Dr Kamal Hossain yesterday stressed the need for establishing a sound and healthy political culture in the country to protect the people's rights and build a repression-free society.
"We have gained freedom through a lot of sacrifice, but its fruits are yet to be taken door to door. Now mass awareness should be created through sound politics to finish the incomplete job", he said.
Because of the non-transparent and irresponsible activities of one percent people, the rest are deprived of their rights and justice, he noted.
Dr Kamal, also president of Gono Forum, made the observations at a condolence meeting on former Chhatra League leader Syed Mazharul Haque Baki, organised by Praktan Chhatra League Foundation. Baki's contribution in different democratic movements during the pre-liberation period was recalled.
Tofail Ahmed, a former Chhatra League leader, said the quality of student politics has changed for the worse due to the state of national politics. Criticising the opposition BNP, he urged the party to place its demand for interim government in parliament.
Former Awami League general secretary Abdul Jalil, among others, also spoke at the programme with Praktan Chhatra League Foundation convener Nur-e-Alam Siddiqi in the chair.
