Gano Forum asks CG, EC not to adopt weak-kneed policy towards corrupt

---

The Gano Forum (GF) headed by Dr Kamal Hossain urged the caretaker government (CG) and the Election Commission (EC) not to pursue weak-kneed policy for placating "the corrupt, criminalised evil force and anti-liberation elements," reports UNB.
A meeting of the party presidium with Pankaj Bhattacharya in the chair Sunday observed it would be tantamount to no-confidence in democracy and independence if compromise is made with "autocracy, communal forces and war criminals" in the name of election strategy.
"It will also be a worst example of sick politics of merely election and power," the GF also said in its resolution, in the wake of what appears to be a turnabout from the much-hyped 1/11 changeover.
The GF urged the people to remain alert about conspiracy of certain quarters to foil the election, set for December 18.
It also called for building Jukta Front with non-communal, democratic, progressive and pro-liberation forces on a minimum programme.
The presidium meeting at Gano Forum office was attended by Commander (retd) Abdur Rouf, Mafizul Islam Khan, ex-Whip Mostafa Mohsin Mantu and Jamaluddin.
