14-party vows to oust govt, establish secular rule

Staff Correspondent
Leaders of Awami League-led 14-party opposition yesterday pledged to reinstate four main principles of the 1972 constitution and establish a secular democratic government through ousting the BNP-Jamaat-led coalition.
Observations of the recent High Court (HC) judgement that declared the fifth amendment of the constitution illegal, will be implemented if they take office, they said while addressing a joint rally at Muktangoninthecity.
The "historic judgment" will strengthen the foundation of democracy and uphold the supremacy of the constitution, they said at the rally formed as part of the opposition's countrywide joint demonstration to protest against the BNP-Jamaat government's naked interference into the judiciary after the recent HC verdict.
"The verdict also cut the root of the BNP and its self-made distorted history," AL General Secretary Abdul Jalil said, adding that the government got panicked after the verdict as their misdeeds came out through the judgment.
After the verdict, the BNP has no moral right to cling to power anymore as it was formed through an illegal process, Jalil observed.
Blasting Law Minister Moudud Ahmed, the AL leader said, "If the verdict is worthless at all, then why the government rushed to the residence of a chamber judge in the midnight and managed a stay order on it."
AL Presidium Member Amir Hossain Amu, who presided over the rally, urged people to unite under the banner of 14-party alliance to launch a mass movement and oust the BNP-Jammat-led coalition government.
"We will force the alliance to quit and install a democratic government through a free and fair election," he said, adding that the AL from the very beginning was vocal against all militaryregimes.
AL leader Abdur Razzak vowed to resist any election without realisation of opposition's demand of reforms in the caretaker government and Election Commission.
"We will implement the observation of the verdict afterforming government of people," JSD leader Hasanul Haq Inusaid.
Emphasising greater unity of all pro-liberation democratic parties, he said, "The terrorists and militants will be ousted and brought to justice."
Workers' party leader Bimal Biswas said the verdict "appreciated by the nation" has brought newdimen-sion to the history of the country's politics, democracy and rule of law.
Awami League leaders Motia Chowdhury, Mohammad Hanif, and Mofazzal Hossain Chowdhury Maya, Samyabadi Dal leader Dilip Barua, Gono Forum leader advocate Subrata Chowdhury, Ganotantri Party leader Azizul Islam Khan, NAP leader MA Gani and Gono Azadi League leader Abdus Samad also addressed the rally.
Later the opposition leaders led a big procession that ended at the Central Shaheed Minar after parading different city streets.
