Abdul Moin Khan, a member of the BNP Standing Committee, said that the liberation war of 1971 and the student revolution of 24 are not contradictory. They only complement each other. If we look at things from that perspective, there is no need for conflict. Today, almost 53 years after independence, where we have reached, we must clearly realize that Bangladesh will not develop in conflict politics.
He said these things at the seminar titled 'Constitution Reform' organized by Nagrik Oikya at Nasrul Hamid Auditorium of Dhaka Reporters Unity (DRU) on Tuesday (November 12).
Abdul Moin Khan said, not the people for the constitution, but the constitution for the people. If we believe this wholeheartedly, then I see no conflict between the question that has come up today — rewriting or amending the Constitution. Because our main objective is not the constitution, our main objective is the people. So we will do whatever is necessary for the welfare of the people. If necessary, the constitution will be rewritten or amended. It is not important.
He said, our main objective is to create a system through which we will create a state system that will be good for the people. Our main objective is to create a welfare state. We will do the work that needs to be done to create that welfare state. Whatever method it is. I think, if our intentions are right, honest and if we really want to work for the good of the people, then method cannot be a hindrance.
President of Nagorika Oikya Mahmudur Rahman Manna also spoke in the seminar, General Secretary of Revolutionary Workers Party Saiful Haque, Chief Coordinator of Mass Solidarity Movement Jonaid Saki, Chief Coordinator of State Reform Movement Hasnat Qayyum, Convenor of Bhasani Anusari Parishad Sheikh Rafiqul Islam Bablu and others.
