Staff Correspondent
People were quite helpless and insecure during the last four years of BNP-led alliance government, said Dr Kamal Hossain, president of Gono Forum, at a discussion yesterday.He said many innocent people were attacked by the extremists and the general people are passing their days under constant threat. Dr Kamal was speaking as chief guest at the discussion organised to mark the 5th founding anniversary of Human Rights Implementation Society at IDEB conference hall in the city. He said the countrymen fought against many adverse forces unitedly in last 50 years and brought victory, but they could not enjoy the fruits of their struggles. "People are now ready to be united in the spirit of the liberation war. We just need to go ahead with a determination to form an effective parliament consisting of people's representatives to whom they can rely," said Dr Kamal. Major General (Retd) Subid Ali Bhuiyan presided over the discussion where former vice- chairman of Bar Council Barrister M Amir-ul- Islam spoke as special guest. Amirul Islam said the rise of militancy has led the country to an unconstitutional rule where no trial or investigation could take place. "It is time to work unitedly to resist the anti-constitutional, anti- liberation and anti-human rights forces," he added. Former president of Supreme Court Bar Association Abdul Baset Majumder, Advocate Sahara Khatun and Advocate Abdus Sabur also spoke.
