“Khaleda Zia and BNP-Jamaat burned hundreds of people to death and caused untold sufferings to many in the name of movement. Despite that, how could some people stand in favour of that party (BNP) and vote for them...I don’t find any answer to it.”
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday wondered how a section of people can support BNP and vote for them although Khaleda Zia and BNP-Jamaat burned hundreds of people to death in the name of hartal and blockade.
“Jamaat-e-Islami is a militant organisation and an anti-liberation party. Jamaat is a party like the Taliban and IS. So the government should take steps to ban Jamaat.”
Food Minister Md Qamrul Islam, who attended the discussion as well, asked Khaleda to stop killing people along with Jamaat.
“The country is going through a critical time. There is no democracy and freedom of expression in the country. Our leader Khaleda Zia has been charge with false cases. Imaginary and absurd allegations have been brought against her.”
BNP spokesman Asaduzzaman Ripon alleged that various conspiracies are being hatched to destroy the opposition.
