Gonoforum wants reforms before election

Gonoforum has called upon Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus to hold the next national election very soon after reconstituting the Election Commission and completing the ongoing reform works.

Ganoforum, literally People’s Forum, emeritus President Dr Kamal Hossain led a nine-member delegation of the party at the dialogue at the State guest house Jamuna on Saturday.

At the meeting, the Gonoforum team said the situation will be the same as before if the election is held without completing reform works.

“We want free, fair and neutral elections. Today’s government is the people's government. We will extend support to the government wholeheartedly for the sake of fair elections in the future,” chairman of the coordinating team of Gonoforum Mostafa Mohsin Montu told reporters.

“We had a detailed discussion. He (CA) listened to us attentively. We discussed issues related to the Constitution, law-and-order situation and judiciary,” Montu said.

Talking about the price hike of essential commodities, he said the syndicate must be uprooted. “We need to work jointly to maintain national unity.”
