Dr Kamal for movement against sick politics

Gono Forum chairman Dr Kamal Hossain has called for forming citizens committees in all thanas of the country to organise citizens for a nationwide movement against the ‘sick politics’ practised by the two main parties.
“People want to see a working democracy, accountability, and the rule of law prevails. They want to see the security of life and property provided by the state,” Dr Kamal said in an interview with Dhaka Courier, according to a news agency.
The Gono Forum president went on to bemoan in the influence of black money in politics.
Dr Kamal described the High Court judgement based on which the caretaker government provision was removed from the Constitution as ‘peculiar’, but said it would be unwise to blame the judgement only.
He said: “It (the judgement) said clearly you could continue with the caretaker system for another two elections. Yet one year before the judgement even came out in writing, it was used as a pretext for the 15th amendment that removed the caretaker provision.
