UNB
Dhaka: Reaffirming her government’s firm stance not to allow anyone to make Bangladesh a den of militants and terrorists, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Tuesday urged all to get united against criminal and destructive activities unleashed by the BNP-Jamaat alliance.
She came up with the call while addressing an exhibition on recent atrocities unleashed by the BNP-Jamaat alliance across the country in the name of politics and a discussion meeting at the National Museum in Dhaka after its inauguration.
Publication Sub-Committee of Awami League organised the programme to display the recent destructive activities of the BNP-Jamaat-led 20-party alliance in the name of countrywide nonstop blockade since January 6 and hartals with weekly intervals.
Awami Legaue general secretary Syed Ashraful Islam also spoke at the programme held with Publication Sub-Committee chairman and PM’s Adviser HT Imam in the chair. Envoys and representatives from different missions in Bangladesh were present.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said what the BNP-Jamaat is doing now is just militant and terrorist acts, and there will be no place for militants and terrorists in Bangladesh.
She also firmly reiterated her government’s commitment to save the lives and property of the common people. “The government will surely do whatever needs to be done to protect the lives and property of people.”
The Awami League chief sought all-out cooperation from all people to root out the militancy, terrorism and destructive activities from the country. “In some cases, common people came forward to catch and hand over anarchists to the law-enforcing agencies, we have seen that already... I also want it from all people to act like that.”
The BNP-Jamaat unleashed its destruction on the common and innocent
people in the name of politics, she said asking, “Why are you attacking these innocent people, they are innocent. When you’re killing these people then for whom you are claiming to do politics.
She asked the BNP chief to stop killing and the politics of corpses.
