Speakers at a view exchange meeting yesterday called for building unity to reach the benefit of independence door to door.

They said the heroes of the liberation war should be honoured by people of all shades of opinion.

The Swadhinota Forum Kendriya Sangsad organised the meeting titled 'Politics of 36 years and national unity" on the occasion of Independence Day at the national press club with its chairman Abu Naser Mohammad Rahmatullah in the chair.

The speakers said gaps of understanding among the people should be narrowed.

"Some people speak more about their own contributions and sometimes try not to acknowledge other's contribution," they said.

They urged the government to allow people to choose their leaders through election. This will help building unity among the people, the speakers added.

Former Deputy Prime Minister Shah Moazzem Hossain, former Minster Barrister Rafiqul Islam Miah, former MP Rahmat Ali, former MP Major Akhtaruzzaman, Shafiul Alam Prodhan, Moulana Abdul Latif Nezami and The New Nation Editor Mustafa Kamal Majumder spoke, among others, on the occasion.
