Unity of pro-liberation forces emphasised

Observing that there is no unity on national issues, Dhaka University Professor Emeritus Dr Anisuzzaman urged Friday the country's young generation to put united efforts to build a nation with pro-liberation spirit, reports UNB.
He made the call while addressing the 3rd national conference of Sammilita Samajik Andolan at the Institution of Engineers, Bangladesh in the city.
Dr Anisuzzaman said, "Fanatic forces in the country are forcing the minority groups to leave the country while we have been unable to prevent the tendency."
Expressing frustration, he said, "What we have done until today? I've been asking myself; the vision to build a secular society has not been fulfilled yet."
"We've moved into instability after the independence and cashing in on that, the defeated fanatic groups became united against the country," he said.
Youths are not stepping forward to work for the nation as the society failed to educate them in this regard, the renowned educationist added.
Liberation War Museum trustee Sarwar Ali, Oikya NAP president Pankaj Bhattacharya, Hindu-Buddhist-Christian Oikya Parishad presidium member Sachin Karmakar, Parbatya Chattagram Jana Sanghati Samity member Dipayan Khisa and Sammilita Samajik Andolan president Ajay Rai also spoke at the programme.
