Compromising approach of government frustrate people: Gono Forum
Friday, 24 October 2008
Gono Forum presidium meeting Thursday viewed that people were frustrated at government's bargaining with political parties on plea of understanding and reconciliation, reports UNB.
Presided over by Dr Kamal Hossain the meeting felt that law should take its own course. Wholesale granting of bail to those accused of corruption has given rise to questions in the minds of the people about the process of law and trial. People expect that anti-corruption drive of the government should not be impeded in the process of compromise.
The meeting viewed that neither fair election nor healthy politics was possible by compromising with corrupt elements. The prime responsibility of the Election Commission is to ensure the right to vote of all the registered voters and conduct election activities on the basis of national consensus.
Expressing doubt about attempt to frustrate the upcoming election by certain evil forces the meeting urged all sections of the people to resist such forces.
