Dr Kamal to help establish platform for healthy politics
Sunday, 3 June 2007
Dr Kamal Hossain has said he will provide all cooperation for the formation of a platform for healthy politics.
Politicians against whom allegations of corruption have been raised in the past should own up their mistakes and retire from politics. At the same time, considering the issue of corruption, political parties should conduct reforms or purges, he added.
Noted politician and jurist Dr Kamal Hossain made these observations in an exclusive interview with bdnews24.com at his chamber in Motijheel commercial area Saturday noon.
On the formation of the new party, Dr Kamal said that he would extend all out cooperation to form a platform for a healthy brand of politics.
Gano Forum president Dr Kamal Hossain said that it was the time to draw those who wanted to do healthy politics, the time to form a platform so that all could go forward together.
On whether people had started expressing their no confidence to those in government over the past 18 years, Dr Kamal said, "People are not bringing no-confidence against political parties. The parties against whom allegations of corruption have been raised should conduct reforms and purges. When a disease afflicts the society, political parties cannot remain free of it. No party can say corruption has not made inroads into it. I have a small party. I will also have to see whether my party is showing the symptoms of the disease. It is natural that the symptom of the disease will be found on a larger scale. And possibilities are there that the symptoms would be found the most in the immediate past ruling party or alliance.
