DHAKA, Mar 05, 2015 (BSS)- Publicity and Publication Affairs
Secretary of the ruling Awami League Dr Hasan Mahmud today said there is
no difference between BNP chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia and the
militant kingpins.
"A few political parties after the partition of the sub-continent tried
to impose their ideologies upon the people choosing the path of
terrorism and anarchy. These parties including that of the Siraj
Shikdar's party could not stay in politics as they had chosen the path
of terrorism, anarchy and clandestine killings. Those leaders were
identified in the history as terrorists with eventual death of their
political ideologies. Begum Khaleda Zia would be depicted as a militant
kingpin if anybody goes through the book of history two decades ago from
now," he said.
Dr Hasan Mahmud said this while speaking as the chief guest at a public rally-cum-human-chain programme in the city.
Bangabandhu Sangskritik Jote organised the programme in front of the
National Press Club protesting the BNP-led 20-party combine's terrorism,
anarchy and killing people by blasting firebombs in the name of
siege-hartal programmes.
Jote general secretary Arun Sarker Rana presided over the programme,
also addressed, among others, by Dhaka City Awami League (AL) joint
general secretary Haji Mohammad Selim, assistant secretary to AL
sub-committee Advocate Balaram Poddar and Muktijoddha Projanma League
general secretary Rokon Uddin Pathan.
Dr Hasan Mahmud said, "Begum Khaleda Zia doesn't abide by the laws of
the land and the court. She adopts various tricks to escape from her
appearance before the court on the specific date of hearing in the graft
case she has now been facing with. She doesn't pay heed to anybody's
advice. Not only the people of Bangladesh, the entire world has become
aloud against her anarchy."
The Awami League leader said, "Begum Khaleda Zia can't be termed as a
leader of a political party now, She has turned into a demon appearing
in the role of Mollah Omar. Her party (BNP) has now turned into a
militant outfit due to her various whimsical decisions and activities
and Begum Zia has surfaced as a militant kingpin in the world.
Bangladesh should be saved from the hands of the militant kingpin."
Dr Hasan Mahmud hoped that the government would take appropriate action
against Begum Khaleda Zia in accordance with the rule of the court order
and the existing laws of the land with a view to upholding the rule of
law.
