News - Hasina slams Khaleda for ‘trying to go to power creating chaos’

Dhaka, Feb 22 (UNB) - In a scathing attack on the opposition leader, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Wednesday said Khaleda Zia always remains in reverie to go to power by creating a chaos in the country.

“She (Khaleda) always dreams of going to power stepping on corpses through creating a chaos,” Hasina told a discussion organised by Awami League marking the International Mother Language Day at Bangabandhu International Conference Centre (BICC).

Deputy Leader of the House Syeda Sajeda Chowdhury presided over the meeting.

AL advisory council member and Railways Minister Suranjit Sengupta, presidium member Sheikh Fazlul Karim Selim, MP, Home Minister Shahara Khatun, Joint Secretary of Bangladesh Awami League Mahbub ul Alam Hanif, and State Minister for Law Advocate Quamrul Islam addressed the meeting.

Acting president of Dhaka city unit MA Aziz, president of Jubo Mohila League Nazma Akhter and general secretary Apu Ukil, president of Mohila Awami League Ashrafunessa Mosharraf, BM Mozammel Haque, central Awami League leaders Ahmed Hossain, Abdullah Abu Sayed Al Mahmud Swapan, Mesbah Uddin Siraj and Chhatra League general secretary Nazmul Alam Siddiqui also spoke at the programme, conducted by AL Deputy Publicity Secretary Asim Kumar Ukil.

The Prime Minister warned that the government will not allow anyone to play with the fate of the country’s people.

She urged people to remain alert so that those who made the country a den of corruption, created ‘Bangla Bhai’, turned the country into a haven of militants and terrorists can never come to power.

Regarding the opposition leader’s demand to reintroduce the caretaker government system, she said Khaleda once had said only an insane and child is neutral. Later, in 2008 she (Khaleda) had also said there will come a day when people will demand annulment of the caretaker government system, Hasina recalled.

“She (Khaleda) is hardly consistent in her demands. I’ll request people not to be misguided (by her demands),” Hasina said.

Turning to over 5,200 local government elections and parliamentary by-polls held under the present government, the premier said, “There has been no single allegation from any quarter about those elections.”

She said the government never intervened in the elections as the Election Commission conducted the polls independently.

Hasina went on: “The opposition leader can’t accept the change we have brought for safeguarding people’s rights to franchise through a constitutional amendment.”

The AL chief, however, welcomed BNP chairperson’s commitment to refrain from politics of retaliation in the future.

But Hasina said the opposition leader recently threatened to cripple the government. “Which statement will we believe?” she questioned.

About war crimes trial, Hasina said the government has started the trial to fulfill its election pledges. “But our opposition leader is very active to save the war criminals,” she said.

The Prime Minister questioned how the opposition leader forgets that these war criminals had helped the Pakistani occupation forces to rape women, kill people and make arson attacks on houses across the country during the Liberation war.

“How it’s possible for you being a woman to tolerate the people who had taken away girls from houses and handed them over to Pakistani army,” she asked.

She reaffirmed that the trial of the war criminals will be held in this country and no one will be able to resist it.
