BHOLA, Mar 11 (BSS): Commerce Minister Tofail Ahmed has urged people to build a united resistance against BNP as the party was involved in looting and repressive activities when it was in power in 2001.
"People did not forget the torture and repression BNP carried out after coming to power in 2001. It will do so if it gets scope again," said the minister.
Tofail Ahmed, also Awami League advisory committee member, made the comments while speaking at a party's new membership drive programme at the district council office.
Union AL president Salam Master chaired the programme while chairman Abdul Momin Tulu, upazila parishad chairman Mosharraf Hossain, upazila AL general secretary Nazrul Islam Golder and AL leaders Zahirul Islam and Moinul Hossain, among others, spoke at the programme.
Tofail said Khaleda Zia formed alliance with war criminals and made anti-liberation elements ministers. Now she is in jail in connection with a corruption case as court sentenced her to imprisonment, he added.
Earlier, the commerce minister attended the biennial council of West Elisha and East Elisha union unit of Sramik League.
Tofail Ahmed said Bangladesh is advancing fast under the dynamic leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. He said Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman gave the nation independence and her daughter has turned the country into a development role model.
