If you give in to provocation, you will not be able to vote even in three years, said Mahmudur Rahman Manna, president of Nagorik Oikya. He made this comment at a discussion titled ‘Election Reform Analysis’ organized by the ‘Rashtra Sanskar Forum’ at the National Press Club in the capital on Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n
The president of Nagorik Oikya said, ‘If someone incites and you incite, if this happens every three months, then you will not be able to vote even in the next three years. You will need an environment to vote. You want to win, but can you win by showing anger at fascism? The victory that we have achieved by fighting and giving blood must be defended with intelligence and stability.’<\/p>\n
Regarding the report of the Reform Commission, Mahmudur Rahman Manna said, how many common points can be found among the 6 Reform Commissions. How many can be agreed upon after discussion. The success of the reforms depends on that.<\/p>\n
Addressing the government, he said, ‘I will tell this government, there is still time. If you are still acting like a puppet, you will not be able to do anything. Now they have to play a decisive role. That is why an ominous sign has been received very recently.<\/p>\n
The president of Nagorik Oikya said, \u2018After six months, the interim government has come at a crucial time. He (the chief advisor) could not improve the country\u2019s economic situation. Such a great economist! He could not reduce the prices of goods. Investment did not increase, income rates did not increase. The law and order situation in the country is weak.\u2019<\/p>\n
He said, \u2018If people take to the streets to protest the increase in prices of goods, will this government be able to stop it? If any political party supports it and calls a strike, will the police come to deal with it? The government is vulnerable. You cannot run a good government for a long time with such a government. It can collapse at any time.\u2019<\/p>\n
However, highlighting the rationale for supporting the interim government, Mahmudur Rahman Manna said, \u2018We criticize the government but do not take it to court. We know that if this government is defeated, we will also be defeated.\u2019<\/p>\n
Former Jatiya Party (Roshan) leader Golam Sarwar Milon, Nirapat Sarak Chai-Nischar chairman and film actor Ilias Kanchan, among others, spoke at the discussion meeting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
