Dhaka – A new platform has been launched to support the efforts to rebuild Bangladesh by the interim administration installed last month headed by Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yunus after the ouster of former prime minister Sheikh Hasina’s government in the face of student uprising.
The 55-strong Jatiya Nagorik Committee (JNC) was announced on Sunday at Dhaka’s Central Shaheed Minar aiming at upholding the spirit of student-people mass upsurge, steered by the Anti-discrimination Student Movement.
Muhammad Nasiruddin Patwari has been made the convenor of the committee while Akhtar Hossen is the member secretary and Samanta Sahrmin has been made spokesperson of the new platfrom.
The committee has declared eight primary objectives that included taking necessary steps to bring the persons under book who were involved in brutal killing during the anti-discrimination movement, maintaining cooperation with interim government to suggest reforms, uniting the people, arranging dialogues between different professionals and expatriates.
The committee will work from different aspects ranging from making public-sensitive policy making to rebuild the country and abolishing the fascism from its roots, said Patwari.
Bangladesh has achieved freedom from autocratic rules through the student-people anti-discrimination movement, he said.
@There had been such upsurge before which went in vein destroying peoples’ expectations. But we cannot let this happen again”, he added.
The Jatiya Nagorik Committee will also be extended in all the cities, districts and upazilas levels gradually.
The committee will work to help eradicate the established fascist political system. It will work as pressure group, he said calling the people to remain alert against any sort of discrimination.
