BNP wants to create unusual situation: PM

Prime Minister and Awami League President Sheikh Hasina has urged the people to resist the BNP as they want to create an unusual situation in a bid to foil the national elections.

The Prime Minister said this while addressing a grand rally at Khulna Circuit House ground on Monday afternoon.

The AL president said, “They know that they don't have any leadership. They're just a party without any head. One is absconding and another is in the jail. That party doesn't want any election in the country, rather they just want to create an unnatural situation in the country.”

“BNP-Jamaat knows that in 2008 elections they got only 30 seats,” she continued.

She mentioned that next election will be held on time and all have to remain vigilant during the election time.

“Give them a good lesson so no one dares to cause any harm to anyone of the country. That kind of incidents must not happen again,” she said.

The AL chief asked her party men and members of AL's associate bodies to give protection to the people of the country together with the law enforcing agencies.

She said whenever Awami League comes in the power, the country and its people witness development and progress.

“It is very much regretful that BNP means the terror activities. The only task of BNP-Jamaat is to kill people through arson attacks,” she said.

In this connection, the Prime Minister mentioned the incidents of October 28 when BNP-Jamaat terrorists killed a policeman by beating mercilessly.

She said that BNP-Jamaat terrorists injured 45 police men and attacked journalists who went there to cover their programmes.

“They attacked hospitals like the Israeli forces in Gaza. They also vandalised ambulances. I don't think that they have a little bit of humanity,” she said, adding, the only quality of BNP-Jamaat is killing people.
