The BNP-Jamaat alliance is killing the people in the name of hartals and blockades, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has said.
The premier said this while addressing as the chief guest at the inaugural ceremony of the 4th International Conference on Plastic Surgery at Pan Pacific Sonargaon Hotel in the capital on Thursday, reports BSS.
Sheikh Hasina said the BNP-Jamaat terrorists have created a horrific situation across the country in the name of their so-called movement.
"The movement is not working and being effective as the people are not responding to it. That's why, they (BNP-Jamaat) are creating panic among the people by hurling petrol bombs at them," she said.
The PM said the BNP-Jamaat nexus carried out genocide in the country in the name of so-called movement and it is impossible for anybody to accept such heinous acts.
"The BNP-Jamaat alliance is killing the people in the name of hartals and blockades...they (BNP-Jamaat) are accused of killing. In fact they carried out genocide and it is impossible for any human being to accept it. Let Allah prevail their good sense for stopping these heinous acts," she said.
