Amu: BNP-Jamaat are like poison for Bangladesh

Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) and its ally Jaamat-e-Islami are like poison for the people of Bangladesh, and both the parties need to be rooted out so they cannot  hinder the country’s development, Awami League Advisory Council member Amir Hossain Amu said on Wednesday. 

Addressing a discussion on Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s 99th birthday, Amu, the former industries minister and Bangabandhu’s close aide, said: “There will be many conspiracies against Bangladesh when it becomes a developed country.” 

Awami League-led 14-party alliance organized the event at the Institute of Engineers, Bangladesh in Dhaka, where the alliance leaders discussed the life and work of Bangabandhu. 

Recalling the father of the nation’s life in politics and the turbulent days during the war, Amu said Bangabandhu was the main hero of the Liberation War.

Workers Party of BangladeshPresident Rashed Khan Menon said: “After the Liberation War, Bangabandhu had declared to curb corruption.”

He also said he was confident that Bangladesh was moving forward to become a developed country.

Awami League Presidium member and 14-Party alliance spokesperson Mohammad Nasim, Joint General Secretary Mahbubul Alam Hanif, and Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal President Hasanul Haq Inu also spoke at the event, among others.
