Enam Ahmed Chowdhury speaks to DOT :
The election manifesto of Oikyafront has everything needed for the welfare of the people. It contains a seven-point demand and 11-point target. Khaleda Zia is the leader of immense love of the people. She has been incarcerated in a false case for long. The people want her to be freed. So the demand for her release is incorporated in the election pledge. In addition, the other demands include releasing arrested and incarcerated leaders and activists, and also social, economic and political development. The main demand is to reinstate democracy in the country, then comes the issue of balance of power—something missing in our country.
The main thoughts of Liberation War will be considered with importance and fulfilled. There is an outline for economic development. Human rights have almost disappeared from the country. The people cannot talk their mind, seek what they want. They are repressed in different ways if they go dissent. Our manifesto will demand that all the needs of the people be fulfilled. Since the government is for the people, I hope it will do whatever they demand.
