"In the month of victory, we have to make a fresh vow to build a country free from Islamic militants and extremists," he said at a discussion organised by the Bangalee Sangskriti Mancha at Dhanmondi in the city to mark the Victory Day.

The Bangalees could not be defeated through bomb or grenade attacks, he said, adding that once they are united, it is impossible for the vested quarter to suppress them.

The politics of the 14-party opposition combine would be to wipe out the failed politics that could not ensure people's rights, said Dr Kamal.

"The politics will be aimed at establishing the rights of people," he said.

It is time to make the new generation aware of the true history of the War of Liberation and instil its spirit in them, he added.

The speakers at the discussion urged all to be imbued with the spirit of the liberation war as well as the ideals of Bangabandhu and resist the fundamentalist forces unitedly.

Convenor of Bangalee Sangskriti Mancha Alamgir Kumkum presided over the discussion. Folklorist Shamsuzzaman Khan, journalist Md Mizanur Rahman, General Secretary of Awami Sechchhashebok League Firoz, Abdul Matin Bhuiyan, Shahadat Chowdhury, Shariful Islam and Habibur Rahman were also present.
