Cooperation among political parties

---

Education Adviser Hossain Zillur Rahman said cooperation and understanding among the political parties is a must for overall development, as no single party could unilaterally resolve the problems of the country.

He said this while addressing the biennial conference of Bangladesh Sociological Association (BSA) as the chief guest at the city's LGED Bhaban auditorium Saturday.

Dhaka University Vice-Chancellor SMA Faiz attended the function as the special guest while Sociology Department Chairman S Aminul Islam made the welcome address. BSA President FR Khan presided over the inaugural session of the conference.

Renowned sociologist AKM Sa`aduddin presented the keynote paper on "Martial Law, Rule of Law and Legitimacy: A Sociological Analysis of Bangladesh Politics" in the conference.

The Education Adviser said Sociology is an important subject that is able to explain the existing problems of the country. The inner expressions of Sociology will be helpful for progress of the country, he added.

SMA Faiz said Sociology reminds the people of their liability to the society, adding that society is not for only gathering knowledge but also for creating knowledge.

The conference was held in three sessions where 14 keynote papers were presented by the noted sociologists including Rangalal Sen.
