Gono Forum president Kamal Hossain on Monday called upon people to put up a strong resistance against those creating obstacles towards implementing Bangabandhu's dreams of establishing democracy and ensuring free and fair elections in the country, reports UNB.

"Bangabandhu's dreams were written in the constitution. His first dream was to establish democracy. He also gave the highest importance to ensuring free and fair elections," he said.

Speaking at a discussion, Kamal also said those hampering democracy and the path of fair elections are showing disrespect to Bangabandhu. "They're also defying Bangabandhu. We must identify them and ostracise them. We'll resist those defying Bangabandhu and creating barrier to materialising his dreams."

Gono Forum arranged the discussion at the Supreme Court Bar Association auditorium, marking the 99th birth anniversary of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
