India's agenda is elections, which is a risky assertion: Saki Zonayed
Ganosamhati Andolan’s chief coordinator Zonayed Saki speaks at a discussion marking the eighth death anniversary of Abdus Salam, the first executive coordinator of Ganosamhati Andolan, at National Press Club, Dhaka on 1 June 2025Prothom Alo
Zonayed Saki, the chief coordinator for Ganosamhati Andolan, said on Sunday that it is extremely risky to promote the idea that "election is an agenda of India."
As the main guest at a conversation this morning at the National Press Club, he stated, "We need to hold trials, institute changes, and hold the election for our needs."
The occasion was planned to commemorate the eighth anniversary of Abdus Salam's passing. He was the original executive coordinator of Ganosamhati Andolan.
"Announce the particular roadmap of trials-reforms-elections promptly" was the title of the discussion.
As some Indian media outlets or political personalities call for elections in Bangladesh, the chief coordinator of Ganosamhati Andolon said it is very risky to spread the idea that the demand for elections in Bangladesh is being carried out in accordance with India's objectives.
According to Zonayed Saki, the nation's citizens have banded together to oppose the fascist administration of Sheikh Hasina, which is supported by India. It serves India's interests to imply that elections are on the agenda since it sows discord among the populace. The fascists will be rehabilitated with the aid of such propaganda.
Saiful Haque, the general secretary of the Revolutionary Workers Party, claimed during the conference that new arrangements have kept people who assisted Sheikh Hasina in turning into a fascist. They are trying to re-establish fascism by fostering its surviving elements.
"There has been a breach among the pro-uprising elements," Saiful Haque said.
There has never been a more contentious front-line leader of an uprising in history, he said. The fact that young people are now participating in bad behaviors is disheartening.
The general secretary of the Revolutionary Workers Party added that the chief adviser's claim that just one party wants elections in December is actually the opposite of the facts.
Saiful Haque stated that the chief adviser's statements in Japan were not supported by evidence.
Mojibur Rahman (Monju), the president of the AB Party, told the gathering that there are a number of basic reasons to criticize the main adviser. He was unable to keep everyone together. He has polarized the political parties, whether intentionally or inadvertently. He had the opportunity to lay forth a precise plan for elections, justice, and reforms.
The president of the AB Party did point out, nonetheless, that in addition to the basic criticisms, there are a lot of inflated and baseless rumors circulating around the main adviser. In a same vein, political parties are losing credibility.
Rashed Khan, general secretary of the Gono Odhikar Parishad, claimed that the chief adviser does not value political parties.
Every political party wants elections in December or January, he informed the gathering.
According to Rashed Khan, the advisers should accurately communicate to the chief adviser the people's true objectives.
Among those who spoke at the meeting were Sheikh Rafiqul Islam Babul, the chairman of the Bhasani Janashakti Party; Shahid Uddin Mahmud Swapan, the general secretary of the JSD; Hasnat Kaiyum, the main coordinator of Rastrasangskar Andolon; and Fayzul Hakim Lala, the general secretary of the Jatiya Mukti Council.
In honor of Abdus Salam, a one-minute silence was observed at the start of the meeting.
