Shabek Sangsad Sadashya Forum Formed

’Elect honest, qualified candidates for country’s welfare’

Staff Correspondent
Shabek Sangsad Sadashya Forum, a forum of the former lawmakers, yesterday called on the people to elect honest and eligible candidates as their representatives at any level of the upcoming election so that they can contribute to the country's welfare.
After six months of preparation for its formation, the forum formally came in public through a press conference at the Dhaka Reporters' Unity auditorium yesterday.
Members of the forum are from different political parties, said Member Secretary of the newly formed forum Abdul Latif Bhuiyan, who was elected from Kishoreganj 5 constituency and now a PDP member, adding that around 50 former lawmakers have become the members of the forum.
Convener of the forum and a JP member Dr Shahidu] Islam said people should consider the social status and political value of a candidate in order to elect an honest and qualified candidate in any election so that the leaders can come forward with social welfare pledge.
"Blaming all the politicians indiscriminately due to corruption by a small number of them is not acceptable," he added.
The forum members blamed national and international conspiracy behind the irrational price hike of essentials and to create instability in public life. Through corruption some people have
gathered a lot of black money and they are living in luxury but they are not in proper peace in mind.
They also tailed for creating awareness against corruption and boycotting those people socially and declaring state award for corruption-free people at the press conference.
In this context, the forum has decided to conduct meetings and distributing leaflets in order to create awareness among the people to elect honest and eligible candidates in the city corporation and municipal elections.
The forum will organise these programmes in all the city corporation areas at 11:00am consecutively-- on July 26 in Barisal, on July 27 in Khulna, on July 29 in Rajshahi andon July31 inSylhet.
