Interim Govt

Menon calls forAL-BNP consensus

Staff Correspondent
Workers Party President Rashed Khan Menon yesterday urged the ruling Awami League and the main opposition BNP to reach a consensus on formulating a structure for an interim government to hold the next national polls.
He also urged the two parties to voice their opinions about the interim government in parliament and to hold dialogues in or outside parliament.
"After the repeal of the caretaker government system, a new crisis has been created around the issue of holding a fair and neutral election. It has raised fears in the public mind. So the ruling party and the opposition have to take the initiative to solve the issue immediately,” observed Menon.
The lawmaker was addressing a rally of the party to press home its 10-point demand at the capi-tai's Mahanagar Natyamancha.
Menon, however, criticised the ruling party for creating the new vacuum by cancelling the caretaker government system without framing a new structure for an interim government.
The Workers Party chief blasted the opposition for taking a stand in favour of the war crimes suspects and urged the grand alliance to get united to ensure the trial of the war criminals.
"You are taking up different programmes and creating destructive occurrences to go to power without considering the public interest,” he added.
He questioned how and where thousands of crores of taka have disappeared from the stockmarket. He also criticised the government for not trying the persons responsible for damaging the share market.
Besides, the government has failed to control the prices of essentials and has made public life miserable by increasing the prices of oil, gas and electricity, he maintained.
Now the people are frustrated with such failures of the government, while the opposition is taking this opportunity to destabilise the country by carrying out destructive activities, noted Menon.
The Workers Party has announced a series of programmes to realise its 10-point demand, including speeding up the trial of war criminals, fixing the structure of the interim government and taking necessary initiatives for controlling the prices of essentials.
It will hold rallies from February 28 to May 31 in unions, upazilas and districts across the country.
Bimal Biswas, Fazle Hossain Badsha, Nurul Hossain and Hafizur Rahman addressed the rally, among others.
