GM Quader asks the workers to get ready for liberation struggle
Dhaka: There has been a bloody war, thirty lakh martyrs have given their lives, millions of mothers and sisters have been dishonored, we have not got that liberation yet. Therefore, the struggle for liberation is not over yet, said Jatiya Party Chairman GM Quader MP.
He made the remarks at a discussion meeting and cultural program on the occasion of Victory Day at the Banani office auditorium of JP on Sunday (December 19) afternoon.
GM Quader said, "We got independence, territory and flag but we were not emancipated." The struggle for liberation has to start again, this time the struggle for liberation may be more difficult. The liberation struggle may require more sacrifices, more bloodshed.
"We have been the victims of exploitation, discrimination, deprivation and torture since the British rule," he said. Since the creation of Pakistan, West Pakistanis have started discriminating against us. They had started looting our resources. They made the Bengalis second and third class citizens. The struggle for our liberation was in protest. We have been liberated but not yet liberated. After 1991, Awami League and BNP have repeatedly come to power and started discriminating against the people of the country. If anybody is not connected with Awami League or BNP even if they have qualifications, they will not be able to get jobs. According to an international media report, 4 lakh crore takas have been smuggled out from Bangladesh in the last 6 years. Apart from this, there is no calculation of how many hundreds of crores of takas have been smuggled.
He said the ruling party has created a terrible atmosphere in the Union Parishad elections. Attacks on rival candidates and house-to-house arson have become common. The Jatiya Party candidates are not allowed to contest. There is no security of human life, no security of food and employment. People are dying on the streets every day, as if no one is watching.
He added that no one knows who operates the public transport. It is understood that the government has no hand in the management of public transport. But, sometimes it seems, those who run public transport run the government. Government parties occasionally take to the streets to have fun. At this time lakhs of people are suffering endlessly, sick patients cannot go to the hospital. Later, a regret was expressed by the ruling party, as if it was the most important thing for them to have fun.
Jatiya Party Secretary General Mujibul Haque Chunnu MP said, "We do not support the corruption and misrule of Awami League, but we have no disagreement about Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman." We have been harmed by one sided love with Awami League. Therefore, Jatiyo Party will go ahead with the politics of fulfilling the expectations of the people with its own program in future.
Jatiya Party co-chairman ABM Ruhul Amin Hawlader said, "We have not forgotten which party treated Hussain Muhammad Ershad." Those who call Ershad a dictator should look at themselves in the mirror.
