Politics not for killing, burning people: PM
Dhaka: Recalling the horrible days of BNP-Jamaat’s non-stop blockade and hartal in 2015, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Wednesday said those who killed people in arson attacks how they could expect public support as politics is not for killing people.
‘Killing people through arson attacks how they can expect that people will support them’ she said while addressing a function after laying the foundation stone of Sheikh Hasina National Institute of Burn and Plastic Surgery in Dhaka.
Taking a swipe at BNP-Jamaat for their non-stop blockade and hartal in 2015, Sheikh Hasina said it seemed that killing people days after days through arson attacks was their movement, reported UNB.
The Prime Minister questioned those who had engaged criminals to kill people through arson attacks what kind of politics they do. Chaired by Health and Family Welfare Secretary Syed Monjurul Islam, the programme was addressed, among others, by Health and Family Welfare Minister Mohammad Nasim, State Minister for Health and Family Welfare Zahid Maleque, Dhaka South City Corporation Mayor Sayeed Khokan, Chief of Army Staff General Abu Belal Muhammad Shafiul Huq and project director Dr Samanta Lal Sen.
