Gono Forum president Kamal Hossain on Thursday said no autocracy has survived in Bangladesh.
While addressing a meeting of professionals at a city hotel, senior jurist Kamal Hossain also observed that the country’s ailing politics barred people from being human.
In the meeting, a proposal was made to form a new platform called “National Committee for Movement to Establish Democracy in Bangladesh”.
Kamal Hossain referred to a statement of Bangabandhu in which he had called on Rabindranath Tagore to come to Bangladesh and see that Bengalis have become civilised human beings.
Kamal alleged, “The ailing politics are making Bengalis inhuman. No autocracy can last in Bangladesh. As much as 24 professional bodies took part in the last anti-autocracy movement. So, we need to put that experience to use.”
Jatiya Party presidium member GM Quader, Communist Party of Bangladesh president Mujahidul Islam Selim, Bikalpa Dhara Bangladesh secretary general Abdul Mannan, mother of martyred physician Shamsul Alam Milon Selina Akhter, Engineer M Enamul Haque, Nagarik Oikya adviser SM Akram and Jahangirnagar University’s former teacher Dilara Chowdhury joined the meeting.
