Awami League acting general secretary Mahbubul Alam Hanif, MP, reiterated on Sunday that militancy would be uprooted from the country with the help of mass people, reports BSS.

"Militancy is now under control as the incumbent government remains in

tough position against it . . . We, along with the people, will continue our

tough programme until militancy is rooted out completely from the

country," he told newsmen after paying tribute to Sheikh Jamal, son of Father

of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, at Banani graveyard marking

his (Jamal) 66th birthday.

Referring to taking oath of a BNP-nominated MP, senior AL leader said BNP

leaders have no faith in democracy that's why they are barring their elected

lawmakers from joining parliament.

"People gave them (MPs) legal mandate for the Jatiya Sangsad. But they

(BNP leaders) are opposing their elected leaders' joining parliament. Actually, they haven't any faith in democracy that's why they are talking against parliament," he added.

Hanif also expressed hope that BNP MPs-elect, including BNP Secretary

General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamagir, will take oath as MPs very soon.

AL joint secretary general Jahangir Kabir Nanak, organising secretary AKM

Enamul Haque Shameem and relief and disaster management affairs secretary Sujit

Roy Nandi , among others, were present.
