Issuing a strong warning against the destructive politics of the opposition, the prime minister, Sheikh Hasina, has urged the opposition leader to let the people remain in peace and not to destroy the country in the flame of unrest.
‘The people of the country do not want to be panicked in bomb blasts, rather they want to remain in peace and sleep in peace. So, why are you punishing the country and countrymen to save a few criminals,’ she said.
Hasina, also the Awami League president, said this in her introductory speech of the adjourned meeting of the AL Central Working Committee at her official Ganabhaban residence in the city Sunday evening.
The prime minister urged the countrymen to resist the evil forces with all-out strength and being imbued with the spirit of the War of Liberation as she said her government won’t allow further the terrorist activities of the opposition.
‘When the country is advancing towards development and prosperity and when the country is being recognised as a model of development, why the opposition is unleashing suicidal activities in the country?’ she questioned.
Hasina said those who were unleashing a reign of terror in the country by killing people, torching and vandalising public and private property were the enemy of the country, nation and people.
‘They want to jeopardise the country’s independence and democracy in the name of the movement to save the war criminals who committed crimes against humanity during the Liberation War in 1971,’ she said.
‘So I would like to call on the countrymen to be vocal and resist the terrorist activities of the opposition with all-out strength to protect independence and democracy,’ she added.
Hasina said the opposition political parties were causing damage to the country one after another in the style of the Pakistani occupation forces to save the 1971 culprits.
‘They are killing people, attacking policemen, digging roads, uprooting rail lines and felling trees to save the war criminals. Even students of a primary school could not escape the wrath of the BNP-Jamaat cadres,’ she said.
‘What crimes roads and trees did and why they have become the victims of wrath of the opposition?’ she said.
She said a Class-IX girl student of Chittagong sustained injuries in her eye in bomb explosions during the opposition-enforced hartal in Chittagong on March 28.
In this connection, she mentioned that she had taken the responsibility for medical treatment of the ill-fated girl.
The prime minister said the past BNP-Jamaat government in its five year rule had turned Bangladesh into a country of panic by unleashing reign of terror across the country. In the same style, she said, they are out to push Bangladesh toward a country of militants and terrorists again. (Source)
