Water, electricity, gas crisis, price rise and unemployment need urgent solution- Manzur

CPB President Manzurul Ahsan Khan has said crisis of water, electricity, gas, continuous price hike and unemployment and such other problems faced by people demand solution on an emergency basis. He said high expectation after the land slide victory of the AL led government has already been frustrated and now people are coming out on the streets, Jamat BNP and other extremist forces are trying to use the public discontent to regain their lost positions. Manzur called upon all left and democratic forces to champion the cause of the people and build up a left democratic alternative. He said the left should fight against the failures of the 14 party government and also expose the Jamat, extremists and their allies who are largely responsible for the present situation.

Manzur was speaking in series public meetings held in North Bengal including Sirajganj Town, Kamarkhand, Belkuchi, Bogra, Shariakandi, Manda, Naogaon, Rajshahi and Fulbari-Dinajpur from 26 April to 2 May.

The CPB President also called upon Sheikh Hasina to come out in public if she is under pressure and threat of any ominous circle. He said it is the people who brought her to power. The same people will build up mass movement so that the elected government can assert its power in favour of the people. He also said CPB is ready to fight side by side with the 14 party alliance along with the people of Bangladesh against threats to democratic process, authority of an elected government and sovereignity of the country.

He condemned extra judicial killings in the name of so-called cross-fire despite assurances given by the present government. Manzur expressed concern about the news of the death of more than 16 BDR soldiers while in custody or committing “suicide”. He said people and families of the victims of the massacar want open and fair trial and punishment of the real culprits and their God Fathers within the country and abroad.
