'Third force' can't end political crisis
Says Dr Akbar Ali Khan
Observing that emergence of a "third force" is not a solution to the country's existing political problems, former caretaker government adviser Dr Akbar Ali Khan yesterday stressed the need for practising democracy among the political parties.
“I do not think the emergence of a third force is the core condition to bring changes in the current political culture; rather we want to see changes in the two feuding political parties," he said.
"Those who want changes and those who are members of political parties should wage an effective movement to bring changes,†he added.
Akbar Ali told a roundtable titled "Upcoming Parliamentary Polls of 2014: People's Empowerment" organised by Deshpremik Janogan Mancha at the Jatiya Press Club in the capital.
Portraying a contrasting figure between the politics and economy, he said country's politics is going backward while the economy forward.
With Ganotantrick Bam Mancha Convener Engineer Md Anamul Haque in the chair, Prof Serajul Islam Chowdhury and Engineer TAM Nurul Bashar, among others, addressed the programme.
