"Election is no doubt one of our major concerns. But the foremost concern is to formulate a roadmap for introducing healthy politics and establishing true democracy in the country," he said in Faridpur at a reception for four lawyers of the local bar marking their 50 years of practice.

The law adviser said the country was deprived of correct politics and leadership "as a cartel of mafia" reigned over the country's politics in the bygone years.

"Now the time has come for the country's people to bring the culprits to the dock," he said, adding that such an opportunity should be utilised properly.

Mainul said the people have witnessed a number of general elections through which "democracy was virtually destroyed".

He said the present caretaker government sincerely wants to restore democracy to the mainstream.

Chaired by advocate Alhaj Munshi Mofazzal Hossain, the programme was also attended by Faridpur Deputy Commissioner Yahia Bhuiyan, Additional Police Superintendent Abu Hena and Faridpur Bar Association Secretary Liaqat Ali Khan.
