People at grassroots have withdrawn their support from the government as it has failed to give leadership to lead them towards prosperity and maintain peace.

He was addressing a grand rally marking the 6th founding anniversary of KSJL at the local Circuit House ground yesterday.

He criticised both the ruling BNP and the opposition Awami league, saying both are behaving irresponsibly while Islamsit militants are killing people in the name of Islam.

The government should step down if it can not stop recurring bomb attacks, the legendary freedom fighter said.

He alleged that there has not been any significant development work in greater Mymensingh 34 years after independence. Socio-economic condition of people is going from bad to worse.

"Krishak Sramik Janata League wants to serve the people of Mymensingh and of the country as a whole", he said and called upon the people to rally round the party for peace and development.

He also criticised BNP for not inviting Bikalpa Dhara Bangladesh (BDB) to the dialogue to stop militant activities. He warned that action will be taken if any activist of BDB is harassed in Mymensingh by any political party.

The meeting was also addressed by KSJL General Secretary Fazlur Rahman, its central leaders Principal Zohirul Islam Raju, Habibur Rahman Talukder Khoka, Iqbal Siddiquee, BDB Organising Secretary Mahi B Chowdhury, Saidur Rahman Swapon and Abdul Malek Ratan, central leaders of JSD (Rab), Kader Siddiquee's wife Begum Nasreen Siddique and Tangail Municipality Chairman Jamilur Rahman.
