A meaningful change would be brought to the government through a democratic process in order to rid the nation of black money holders, corruption, crimes and militancy, Dr Kamal told reporters after a meeting with Bangladesh Tarikat Federation (BTF).

At the press briefing, BTF Chairman Syed Najibul Bashar Maizbhandari said his party would continue to carry out anti-government movement with the Jatiya Oikya Mancha. A liaison committee was formed to formulate the modalities of the agitation, he said.

Dr Kamal, also the president of Gono Forum, said, "Through the unity of the people, the nation has to get rid of the influence of black money over election, cadre-based politics and militancy."

Bangladesh is a country of honest people, so the honest persons, not the smugglers, drug traffickers and patrons of militancy, should be elected to parliament, he said.

BTF Chairman Najibul Bashar said, "We also agree to the concept of national government."

The BNP-led alliance government must be toppled through the united movement, as the BNP wants to establish anti-liberation forces Jamaat-e-Islami in the country, he said.

He also said many politicians from BNP would join his party.

Earlier, leaders of Gono Forum, including its General Secretary Saifuddin Ahmed Manik, and BTF leaders, including its Secretary General Maulana Zakir Hossain, exchanged views at the meeting.
