He was speaking as chief guest at a discussion titled 'Reform proposal on caretaker government and Election Commission turns into public demand' organised by Sadharon Nagorik Samaj at Reporters' Unity auditorium in the city.

Amu said the conspiracy of the four-party alliance to make Justice KM Hasan as chief advisor of the next caretaker government has compelled AL to put forward the reform proposal.

He said they do not want a pro-AL caretaker government, rather it should be formed on the basis of public consensus.

Terming the present government anti-independence, another AL Presidium Member Abdur Razzak said the documentary on liberation war broadcast by BTV lately has proved that they do not want Bangladesh.

"Those who do not obey the declaration of independence, surely they want Pakistan and ultimately they would make the country into a province of Pakistan," he added.

Criticising the documentary, AL leader Colonel (Retd) Abu Osman Chowdhury said the government cannot make the declaration of the independence 'null and void' ignoring the constitution.

He also criticised the government for posting their own men at divisional, district and upazila levels including the polling officers ahead of the election to ensure their victory.

Former president of Dhaka University Teachers' Association (Duta) Prof AAMS Arefin Siddique said the government is distorting the history of independence for fear of losing power.

He stressed the need for enlightening new generation with the true history of the liberation war.

Chairman of Muktijoddha Kendrio Command Prof Abdul Ahad Chowdhury, Organising Secretary of Krishak League MA Karim, and leaders of Sadharon Nagorik Samaj also addressed the discussion presided over by Mokaddes Hossain, convenor of the organisation.
