CHAPAINAWABGANJ, May 16 (UNB): Prime Minister (PM) Sheikh Hasina urged the country's people on Saturday to reject those involved in the politics of destruction and hand them over to law enforcers.
The PM further said the government is determined to take stern actions against these evil forces.
"I'll request you to reject those doing the politics of destruction, say no to them, hand them over to law enforcement agencies," she said.
The PM was addressing a mammoth rally at Nawabganj Govt College ground.
Sheikh Hasina said the BNP-Jamaat nexus is always engaged in the politics of destruction and killing.
"We want to give them a good lesson so that they never try to do such politics in the country," she said.
She said, "This politics of killing won't be tolerated in Bangladesh… those trying to destroy the country will be shown no mercy and their trial will surely be held on Bangladesh soil".
The Prime Minister also observed that the BNP-Jamaat clique is trying their heart and soul to destroy the country at a time when it is moving forward under Awami League leadership. "They're the enemy of people, they're the enemy of humanity," she added.
Describing the heinous activities of the BNP-Jamaat alliance unleashed for 93 days from January 5, Hasina said they killed over 150 people who are innocent and poor.
She also said the country's people would not support BNP again and would not cast their votes in favour of the BNP-Jamaat alliance because of these activities.
"Killers shouldn't have any support. Those who killed people will never get any vote…they had just wanted the destruction of people."
Posing a question as to who is the ultimate loser in the 93 days of blockade and hartal, she said, "It's the common and poor people of the country. There was no loss for Khaleda Zia…her only job is to cause bad things to the poor people as this is her only job."
