BNP, not people, in crisis: Hanif

KUSHTIA, Jan 06 (BSS): Joint General Secretary of the ruling Awami League Mahbub ul Alam Hanif today said that people of the country are not in crisis rather BNP is in crisis as the party's top two leaders are now in jail for being involved in destructive activities.

"BNP is launching propaganda for tarnishing the image of the country to achieve their ill political gain," Hanif told the newsmen while inaugurating Sheikh Kamal 2nd Bangladesh Youth Games here this morning.

Hanif said BNP is questioning the judiciary system of the country, but the judiciary is enjoying full freedom.

There was no rule of law during the tenure of the BNP government, Hanif said, adding so they (BNP) do not have the right to talk about the judiciary system of the country.

Talking about BNP's ongoing movement, the ruling party leader said, "BNP has completely failed to wage a movement in the last ten years as people have rejected their party activities."

Later, Hanif inaugurated the youth games at the Sheikh Kamal Stadium by releasing balloons and lighting the torch.

Selim Altaf Jeorge, MP, chairman of district sports association, and Deputy Commissioner Saidul Islam, its General Secretary Advocate Arup Kumar Nandi and other leaders of the district sports association, among others, attended the function.
