Friday, 24 April 2009
State Minister for Home Affairs Tanjim Ahmed Sohel Taj Thursday said the government would face democratically if anarchy was created in the name of movement over the issue of BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia's Cantonment house, reports UNB.
Talking to journalists at the Home Ministry, at a time when the opposition party is on the move against the eviction notice served to Khaleda, the State Minister said BNP 'wants to create chaos in the name of movement exploiting the issue of Khaleda Zia's house'.
But, he added, the government, having mandate of 63 per cent of voters, will face it democratically.
On power crisis, he said funds earmarked for power sector were 'plundered' during the past four-party alliance government's rule. As a result, the power sector has suffered a debacle.
He said Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is attaching top priority to this sector and generators are being purchased to increase power generation.
Sohel Taj noted that shortage of power also causes impediment to the supply of water, creating a twin-problem.
He said security at power stations and water-supply units has been strengthened to avert any unpleasant incident.
On militancy, a committee headed by Sohel Taj has been constituted and the committee will sit next week to determine its terms of reference.
