Share on:
BNP’s atrocities crossed all limits, he said
Urging the countrymen to create resistance against the terrorists, Information and Broadcasting Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud on Wednesday said the government is firmly bound to arrest the persons involved in arson attacks and their patron as well.
“BNP’s atrocities crossed all limits like the Pakistani occupation force. So, resistance should be forged in every ward against the miscreants like 1971,” he said.
The minister said this while addressing a discussion organized by the Institution of Diploma Engineers, Bangladesh (IDEB) at its auditorium in Dhaka.
Deputy Minister for Education Barrister Mohibul Hasan Chowdhury addressed the discussion as a special guest.
IDEB President AKMA Hamid was in the chair while General Secretary Md Shamsur Rahman spoke, among others.
Dr Hasan said the arsonists, in fact, attacked the very existence of the state. They attacked the judiciary by attacking the residence of the chief justice, he said.
Pointing out the burning down of motor vehicles in the IDEB premises on October 28 the minister said: “I do not know why BNP attacked a professional organization like IDEB.”The information minister said: “Bangladesh has good relations with all foreign countries and they can give us advice.”
“However, they can not give such advice which appears to be interference in our internal affairs,” he said adding that “We will solve our problems on our own.”
Hasan Mahmud said BNP thought that someone would put them in power, which is not possible in a democratic country.
He said the whole world is protesting the attacks of Israeli forces in Gaza. But, BNP-Jamaat did not tell a single ward against the Israeli forces, he said.
Hasan pointed out the audio clip went viral on social media where Tarique Rahman instructed Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir not to make any statement about the Palestine issue in public.
He said BNP is not only the enemy of Islam, they also the enemy of humanity and the country. They want to hand over the country to mercenaries.
