Call for greater political unity to demand the resignation of the President
The Anti-Discrimination Student Movement has called for unity among all political parties in the country, except the Awami League, Chhatra League and Jatiya Party, to demand the resignation of the President.
Hasnat Abdullah, convener of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement, made this call at a press conference at around 7:15 pm on Wednesday (October 23).
Hasnat Abdullah said, the one-point announcement made from Shaheed Minar on August 3 included the abolition of the fascist system and a new political settlement. Expressing solidarity with our one-point, every democratic political party came out on August 5. Under our leadership, they came out on the streets and shed blood. That day, we were able to ensure our primary achievement, the fall of Sheikh Hasina. But the complete fall of the fascist system has not yet occurred. Those who have expressed solidarity with the mass uprising can never be in favor of the 1972 constitution. Because it was based on the 1972 constitution that fascism was established in the country.
He said, we have seen that whenever Sheikh Hasina resigns and talks about fair elections, whenever there is talk of a neutral government, she talks about constitutional continuity. Still, some political parties are talking about constitutional continuity regarding the resignation of President Chuppu.
Hasnat Abdullah, who demanded the annulment of the 1972 constitution, said, "The constitution will have to be written anew. Fascism may return, and these cannot be kept in the background. The constitution of the Bakshalits is no longer relevant. I want unity among pro-democracy political parties. If the 1972 constitution is annulled, there will be no constitutional continuity in the annulment of Chuppu."
Calling on all pro-democracy political parties, Jatiya Nagarik Committee convener Nasir Uddin Patwary said, "We had one point in mind: the fall of the Sheikh Hasina government and her regime. Even if Hasina falls, there are people from her regime in Bangabhaban. Therefore, I am calling on all parties except the Awami League, Chhatra League, Jatiya Party and the forces of mass uprising for national unity."
He urged the countrymen to unite by abandoning any political party if it did not respond to this call.
