Health and Family Welfare Minister Mohammad Nasim said on Wednesday no dialogue with BNP, the patrons of the killers of the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, will take place over upcoming national election, reports BSS.
The minister made the comment while addressing a discussion and milad mahfil organised by the Department of Family Planning in the city's Karwan Bazar, marking the 43rd anniversary of the martyrdom of Bangabandhu and the National Mourning Day.
"BNP-Jamaat is the beneficiary of the killing of Bangabandhu. So, there is no scope of consensus with them," said Nasim.
"Any dialogue is meaningless because the upcoming national poll will take place as per the constitution," he added.
Nasim, also Awami League presidium member, said these people do politics of conspiracy. They had created impediment to the trial of Bangabandhu's murder by amending constitution.
"Talking about rule of law and human rights do not suit in their mouth. They had created opportunities for the self-proclaimed killers of Bangabandhu to sit in the parliament."
Mentioning that the national poll will take place in the month of victory, he said, "We believe in election and if the people vote for us, we will form the government again."
Nasim expressed optimism that people will vote for Awami League again considering the development of the country that has been carried out during the last ten years.
Health Service Division Secretary Sirajul Huq Khan, Health Education and Family Welfare Division Secretary GM Saleh Uddin, among others, also spoke while Family Planning Director General Kazi Mostafa Sarwar presided over.
Later, the minister with officials of the ministry and its concerned organisations paid homage to Bangabandhu by placing wreaths at his portrait in front of Bangabandhu Memorial Museum at Dhanmondi Road No. 32 in the city.
