Peshajibi Forum urges govt: Hold national polls at the earliest

BSS, Dhaka



Speakers at a seminar on Wednesday urged the government to hold the national election in the country as early as possible.

They said the present caretaker government should hand over power to an elected government through a free and fair election in the greater interest of the country.

They were addressing a seminar on 'Apar Sambhabanar Bangladesh Aj Kon Pathey' organised by the Sammilita Peshajibi Forum in the auditorium of the Institution of Diploma Engineers Bangladesh here.

Former Chief Justice Syed JR Mudassir Husain addressed the seminar as the chief guest while former Energy and Mineral Resources Adviser Engineer Mahmudur Rahman presided over it.

Former Naval Chief Rear Admiral M A Taher, Prof Dr Razia Akhtar Banu of the Political Science Department of Dhaka University, columnist Dr Rezwan Siddiqui and Dr Safikur Rahman, among others, addressed the seminar.

Prof Dr Hasan Mohammad of the Political Science Department of Chittagong University presented the keynote paper.

"We should give importance to education for development of the country," JR Mudasser Hossain said adding that new generations should be built as skilled manpower providing time- befitting education.

Describing the huge potentiality of the country, he said the agriculture sector should be given priority to boost the economy.

The former chief justice laid emphasis on self-criticism for making oneself as a real man which will help the progress and prosperity of the country.

Gradually the country is depending on foreign countries due to lack of competent leadership, Dr Razia Akhtar Banu said adding that people, particularly political leaders, should develop their foresightedness to avoid dependency.

She said there is no alternative to learning English language to build skilled human resources as English is not only a language, but also a technology.

Dr Rezwan Siddiqui urged people to remain alert against any conspiracy to hinder country's development as imperialistic forces are active to stop its progress.

Dr Safiqur Rahman underscored the need for building a national unity removing all differences.

The speakers said the country has a huge potentiality and immense mineral resources due to its geographical location.

They called upon all sections of people to reach a national consensus on national issues so that any concurrency is rooted out from the country
