Leaders of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami and 12-party alliance have called upon the interim government to complete the necessary reforms including establishing law and order, prosecuting genocide, bringing back smuggled money, establishing rule of law and human rights and holding elections.
They made this call at a meeting held at the office of Jamaat-e-Islami in Moghbazar of the capital on Thursday (August 15). This meeting was organized to discuss the prevailing situation in the country. They emphasized on making unity stronger and stronger among themselves.
The leaders told the meeting that the interim government is continuing its activities to establish good governance in the country. The friends of fascism are continuing their efforts to destroy this peaceful environment of the country. So that miscreants cannot destroy this victory of the students’ movement, the people of the country must be vocal and all must play a united role to face any situation. The necessary reforms should be completed and elections should be arranged. We need to make our unity stronger and stronger. We are passing the time in a conspiracy.
Baith is said that it is necessary to establish a non-discrimination, communal harmony society to take the country to a place of stability and development after the historical revolution of the students. We want to build a country free from fascism. The officials of the erstwhile fascist government, the party armed terrorists who have carried out anarchic massacres in the country, must be immediately brought to justice and exemplary punishment. The rule of law and fundamental rights of all people must be ensured in every sector of the country. Officials who helped the misdeeds of the previous government should be removed and honest, efficient and professional officials should be appointed. The country’s economy should be strengthened by bringing back money smuggled abroad by looting fascists.
The meeting has also been asked to conduct a proper inquiry into those who have been killed in the student movement and bring the actual number before the nation and make arrangements to provide adequate compensation to the families of the victims.
