Armed forces will play positive role, hopes Dr Kamal

Senior Correspondent: Jatiya Oikyafront leader Dr Kamal Hossain welcomed the decision of armed forces deployment ahead of the 11^th parliamentary elections slated for December 30.

He also expressed his hope that the armed forces would play a positive role in creating a congenial electoral environment.

Dr Kamal expressed his hope in a statement issued on Sunday.

In the statement, he said, “The armed forces will certainly create a level playing field for all parties. Side by side, they will play a positive role.”

“We hope that this deployment will create a congenial working environment which was not existing before,” he said.

“However, we hope that the armed forces will not stand against the interest of the people or seek to implement the agenda of an individual or a group of people,” he said in the statement.

Oikyafront, the newly formed alliance, also expressed hope that the armed forces would not tarnish their image by working for any individual.
