Terming the January-5 election a miraculous act, Gano Forum President Dr Kamal Hossain on Saturday said that people have not liberated this country for holding such polls.”A total of 153 candidates have been elected unopposed in the 10th parliamentary polls. It’s almost a world record. The people of the country did not take part in the Liberation War and liberated the country to see such elections. We haven’t liberated the country to make the judiciary and administration as partisan tools to go to power,” he said. Dr Kamal, one of the authors of the country’s Constitution, said this while addressing an extended meeting of the party’s central committee at Eden Complex in the city.Pointing at the government, he said, “You got so many advantages as you’ve formed the government with ‘hundred percent’ support and even the opposition is cooperating with you. Now stop corruption and politicisation. Put an end to harassment and oppression by law enforcing agencies immediately.” Observing that depending on one person ultimately turns out to be a curse for the nation, Dr Kamal asked his party leaders, “Don’t depend on any specific person. It’ll emerge as a curse. It’s a very weak point of South Asian politics.”
