Alliance's victory is certain: Dr Kamal

SYLHET, Oct 24 (UNB): Jatiya Oikyafront chief Dr Kamal Hossain said people will again become the country's owners as the victory of their alliance is certain through a united movement.

"We'll again become the country's owners and bring the country under our control, ensure people's overall welfare and equality through a united movement," he said today (Wednesday).

Speaking at a public rally at the city's Registry Field, he further said, "I can assure you that our victory is certain through the unity of the Oikyafront."

Jatiya Oikyafront arranged the rally to mobilise public support in favour of the alliance's seven-point demand, including holding the next election under a non-party administration.

It was the first political programme of the new alliance of four parties--BNP, Gano Forum, Jatiya

Samajtantrik Dal (JSD-Rob) and Nagorik Oaky-- since its formation on October 13.

Kamal said though the government talks about development, only a handful of people have been benefited. "The development of a few people is not the real development...we want the development of all. Let's get united for the real development."

BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir addressed the rally as the main speaker.

Before the start of the rally, the senior leaders of the Oikyafront visited the shrines of Hazrat Shahjalal (R), Shah Paran (R) and the grave of General MAG Osmani, and offered fateha there on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning.
