Dr Kamal under fire at AL meeting

Staff Correspondent
Without mentioning the name of eminent jurist Dr Kamal Hossain, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday alleged that the president of a political party is creating obstacles for the government to oversee the national election as per the constitution.
"The man had framed the constitution and now after becoming a civil society member, he is advising us to violate it," she said.
Hasina, also the president of ruling Awami League, made the remarks at

the party's parliamentary board meeting at her political office at Dhanmondi. Chaired by the PM, the meeting discussed party nominations for the ensuing national polls.
Leaders of the AL-led 14-party alliance also blasted Gonoforum President Dr Kamal Hossain for his remarks that the prime minister should now consider quitting. Mohammad Nasim, spokesperson of the 14-party combine, alleged that a delegation led by Kamal Hossain has started an "evil game."
"Kamal Hossain knows the constitution well. But he is now talking like a wilful sinner and wants an unconstitutional government in office," Nasim said after an emergency meeting with the alliance leaders.
Speaking at the AL parliamentary board meeting, the PM pointed finger at Dr Kamal saying that this political personality sometimes becomes a "civil society member" and at other times an "eminent personality". "Ifa president of a political party is an eminent citizen, then what are we?" she questioned.
She complained that a section of people are spreading rumours about the parliamentary polls. But the election will be held in due time as per constitutional provisions, she asserted.
The AL chief asked her party men to move towards an electoral battle with courage.
She blasted BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia for "pushing the country into anarchy by killing innocent people" in the name of movement.
Hasina also accused the opposition leader of using children for hurling bombs and engaging them in carrying out subversive activities. She called upon the BNP chief to take to the streets for waging movement leaving behind her "luxurious life at home."
Referring to the dialogue between the Awami League and the BNP, the PM said the opposition leader did not respond to her call for talks. She, however, mentioned that the general secretary and the acting secretary general of the two parties were in talks.
In the evening, the AL parliamentary board resumed its meeting at Cono Bhaban and almost finalised its 300 candidates for contesting the Jatiya Sangsad polls.
Meeting sources said a good number of incumbent lawmakers, who became controversial for their activities in last five years, will not get party nomination. A very few upazila chairmen will get party's blessings.
The AL leaders, said party sources, will now sit with the components of the 14-party alliance and its like-minded parties before issuing nomination letters to the party candidates.
Some 3,000 lawmaker hopefuls collected AL nomination papers for 300 parliamen-
