Monday, 10 May 2010
State minister for Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Quamrul Islam has said the politics of Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL), the student wing of the Awami League, was earning a bad name for the government.
He said that action would be taken against ministers, state ministers and MPs if they used BCL for their own purposes.
He was addressing a discussion at the National Press Club Sunday, reports bdnews24.com.
Bangabandhu Academy organised the programme marking the first death anniversary of Dr MA Wazed Miah, eminent nuclear scientist and husband of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
The state minister said those who were truly engaged in sound politics could not do these kinds of misdeeds.
"That is why he had good results and became famous as a world renowned nuclear scientist," said Quamrul.
Pointing to the criminal activities of the BCL, the former law minister Abdul Matin Khasru said that those who were involved in these activities were either infiltrators or had lost their way.
"They are not activists of BCL," he added.
Khasru urged the home minister to arrest these people in 24 hours and suspend those sub-inspectors and superintendents of police who would fail to arrest them.
He said that the current student leaders were polluting the politics of BCL.
State minister for Home Shamsul Haque Tuku said that Dr Miah was involved in politics of principle and this had to be upheld.
Jute and Textile Minister Abdul Latif Siddiqui was also present on the occasion.
