Caretaker govt to solve political crisis stressed

Staff Correspondent
Speakers at a discussion yesterday stressed the need for reintroducing caretaker government system in the constitution to solve the ongoing political crisis. It is necessary to ensure voting rights of people to get rid of the current political crisis, said Tariqul Islam, standing committee member of BNP, while addressing the discussion as the chief guest. He said BNP has been fighting to restore caretaker government system to ensure people's voting rights. Bangladesh Muktijoddha Gano Parishad organised the discussion on “ongoing political crisis and neutral national elections”, at Jatiya Press Club in the capital. Tariqul said the government has removed the biography of Moulana Bhashani from textbooks of class V and class VIII. He said the ruling party is writing the history of the country. Samsuzzaman Tuku, adviser to BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia, said the current political crisis cannot be solved through dialogues but through violence. Ganashasthya Kendra's Dr Jafrullah Chowdhury urged BNP to carry out their movement not only on the streets but also in parliament. Syed Muhammad Ibrahim, chairman of Bangladesh Kalyan Party, and BNP leaders--Ismail Hossain and Abdus Salam--among others spoke at the discussion.
