Democracy buried on 30 Dec: Kamal

Gono Forum president Kamal Hossain on Saturday alleged that democracy was buried in the country by holding a ‘tainted and so-called’ national election on 30 December.

Speaking at a meeting of Gono Forum’s presidium members, Kamal, however, hoped that people will surely protect the country from destruction, said a party press release.

“The national unity must be cemented and intensified to restore democracy, the rule of law and people’s voting rights,” Kamal said.

He said people are active to get rid of the current situation. “We’ll have to work in this regard.”

At the meeting, the Gono Forum presidium members decided to hold the party’s national council on 27 April in the capital instead of 23 March.

Earlier on 12 January, the party announced to hold the council on 23-24 March.
