AL govt ensures security for BNP progs: Hasan

RAJSHAHI, Jan 13 (BSS): Information and Broadcasting Minister and Awami League (AL) Joint Genera Secretary Dr Hasan Mahmud said on Friday BNP had carried out grenade attacks on Awami League rallies but the AL government is now ensuring security to BNP programmes.

"This is the difference between them and us. We are strong with people's power. But they believe in conspiracy and power of arms," he said.

Hasan was addressing a view-exchange meeting with local AL leaders ahead of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's visit to Rajshahi on January 29.

Rajshahi city and district units of Awami League arranged the meeting at Rajshahi Medical College auditorium which was attended by leaders and workers of the party from all eight districts under Rajshahi division.
