Sampriti Bangladesh—a platform of prominent citizens that aims to promote secularism—raised concerns that Bangladesh may face political instability and violence after the 11th general election, slated for December 30.
The platform’s leaders urged all to stay prepared and united to tackle such a situation.
“After the election, we may face trouble in Bangladesh. All of us have to be united in such moments of crisis to ensure peace,” Pijush Bandyopadhyay, the organization’s convener, said; at a roundtable in CIRDAP centre, in Dhaka, on Thursday.
Pijush furthered: “Political parties who believe in the spirit of the Liberation War should win in the general election. The people of Bangladesh need to be aware of communal violence.”
Other speakers at the discussion said that those who believe in anti-Liberation War ideas, communalism, and fundamentalism, should not be voted into power by the people. They will create anarchy in the country if they acquire power.
Sampriti Bangladesh also called upon the people of Bangladesh to stand firmly against all fundamentalist forces.
