The Government should take initiative to conclude the trial procedure of the corrupt politicians as early as possible because justice delayed is justice denied, said Former President Dr AQM Baduruddaza Chowdhury, also Chairman of Bikalpa Dhara Bangladesh (BDB) at a discussion meeting yesterday.

BDB organised the meeting with the party leaders of Noagoan district at its party central office.

B Chowdhury also urged the Chief Adviser to the Caretaker Government to announce the schedule for both local government and parliament elections in his address to the nation expected to be delivered today.

He also placed some proposals. The proposals include: to complete the voter list with photographs immediately, to reserve at least 25,000 MT of foodgrains, the remove the bureaucrats and officials who were appointed during the tenure of BNP-Jamaat government, to ensure the positive atmosphere for holding a free and fair election and to resolve the crisis of electricity and gas.

Maj (Retd) Abdul Mannan, Secretary General of BDB blamed the two major political parties for the crisis prevailing in the country.

Admiring the anti-corruption drive of the Government he said, " We want to sit with the Election Commission separately rather then collectively with other parties."

He also expressed his hope to sit with the Chief Adviser to talk on the current political context and the next election.

MA Halim, Presidium Member of BDB, Saju Kamal, Suraiya Mannan, Abdul Salam and other senior leaders of BDB spoke, while Abdul Rouf Mannan, Joint Organising Secretary of BDB presided over the meeting.
