Dr Kamal says

Staff Correspondent
Gono Forum President Dr Kamal Hossain lambasted Commerce Adviser Hossain Zillur Rahman yesterday calling him a 'mini Kissinger for 'dialoguing with corrupt politicians'.
"Like a mini Kissinger, the commerce adviser is now very busy meeting and dialoguing with political leaders, even corrupt politicians. He is now commercialising the constitution leaving his commerce ministry duties." renowned jurist Dr Kamal said during a news briefing following a meeting of his party's standing committee.
He also labelled Law Adviser AF

Hassan Ariff as 'an associate of the mini Kissinger', and urged the law adviser not to run with the commerce adviser to politicians for ‘secretmeetines’.
"It is not their duty. Why Chief Adviser Fakhruddin Ahmed and four other advisers are continuing to have dialogues with corrupt politicians?" he questioned while addressing the media in his residence in the capital.
The Gono Forum chief demanded a judicial committee for investigating the incident of granting bail to 206 detainees including many political leaders in 100 minutes.
"The law adviser should investigate the issue of granting bail to 206 persons in a day. It's not possible through legal procedures. An investigation should be launched in the interest of the people and the jtidi-ciary," Dr Kamal said.
He also urged the caretaker government not to defer the election 'being threatened by some corrupt politicians' who are saying their parties will not participate in the election unless their top leaders' release from detention are made permanent
"A congenial atmosphere for the next election and unconditional release of corrupt politicians can't go hand in hand. We don't want an election ignoring our constitution," he quipped.
The caretaker government should not be cowered by the threats of political parties, Dr Kamal added.
He urged the government to make public the details of corruption cases against politicians, so the
people may know about them.
He also said 14-party alliance was formed on the basis of a 23-point charter. "No partner can violate the 23-point charter. If any partner doesn't believe in the charter or violates it, that party will be ejected from the alliance," he
Referring to an interview of BNP Standing Committee Member Tanbir Ahmed Siddiky with The Daily Star published yesterday, Dr Kamal said, "I support Tanbir's proposal for publishing white papers on HawaShaban."
He also raised questions about Ershad getting bail in four cases, and said. "Scrapping of four cases against Ershad was not in line with the constitution."
About .Ezshad's Jatiya Party being an ally of 14-party in the grand electoral alliance. Dr Kamal said. "14-party shouldn't have alliance with any party that doesn't subscribe to the 23-point charter. A controversial political party shouldn't be allowed to have an alliance with 14-party just to win some seats in the election."
Gono Forum Presidium Member Pankaj Bhattacharya and its Acting General Secretary Advocate Subrata Chowdhury were also present.
