03 Nov, 2022
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Thursday warned that her government will not spare BNP if it resorts to violence in the name of movement.
“I told them (BNP) we’ll say nothing if they hold peaceful processions and meetings. But they are going for showdown bearing sticks. If they attack any person, we’ll not spare them,” she said.
The premier was addressing a discussion arranged by Bangladesh Awami League at Bangabandhu International Conference Centre here on the occasion of the Jail Killing Day.
Sheikh Hasina said the movement of BNP means arson violence. What a mayhem they carried out across Bangladesh in 2013, 2014 and 2015. They proved that they are allies of the Pakistani occupation force,” she said, giving an account of the damages caused by the mayhem.
She questioned how BNP dreams that the people will vote for them as the party didn’t stand beside the people with nominal assistance during any tough time.
Khaleda will be back to jail if BNP crosses limit:
The Prime Minister said Khaleda Zia was convicted in the Zia Orphanage Trust case and sentenced to 10-year in jail. Khaleda’s sister, brother and sister’s spouse came to her (PM) and with plea to release her.
“We’ve given her (Khaleda) scope to stay in her house, suspending her sentence on humanitarian grounds. If BNP does excesses, we will send her back to jail,” she said.
Sheikh Hasina pointed out that some sycophants are cheering on BNP's democracy theory. Prime minister said, " How come a junta become the promoter of democracy? And how some people are cheering that? Don’t they understand the reality? "
