BNP in some cases deadlier than dengue: Hasan

Information and Broadcasting Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud on Friday said BNP is deadlier than dengue in many cases and this party should be resisted as like as dengue, reports BSS.
"Dengue (aedes) mosquitoes bite people while BNP burns people alive and torch vehicles by carrying out arson attacks. So, BNP should be resisted as like as dengue," he said.
Hasan, also Awami League (AL) joint general secretary, was addressing as the chief guest an awareness campaign to prevent dengue under the arrangement of Krishak League at Khamarbari in the city.
Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan joined the programme as the special guest.
The information minister said BNP never does politics for people and its top leaders want the party to stay as a gang of hooligans.
Explaining BNP's role, he said, the party never stands by people in any disaster or crisis like flood, cyclone or even dengue prevention and during the coronavirus pandemic, the party leaders only made photo-sessions and their politics is only for Begum Khaleda Zia and her son Tarique Rahman.
Now they are only talking about Tarique and Zubaida's sentence, he mentioned.
Hasan said top BNP leadership doesn't allow anyone of the party to take part in polls, including local government elections.
Even if anyone of the party contests election for union parishad or municipality councillor post, BNP suspends him or her, he added.
