Hasina trying to destabilise country from India: Fakhrul

Local Government Minister and BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Sunday alleged that former prime minister Sheikh Hasina is trying to destabilise Bangladesh while staying in India, reports UNB.
"Fascist Hasina has fled to India, but from there she is trying to create instability in the country. This is clearly a criminal offence," Fakhrul said.
He made the allegation while speaking at the inauguration of the documentary 'Mayer Daak' at the Bangladesh Film Archive in Agargaon, marking International Women's Day.
The minister alleged that during the last one and a half decades many families were ruined, while hundreds of people were subjected to enforced disappearance and killings. "But the most frightening reality is that Sheikh Hasina has shown no sign of remorse over these incidents," he said.
The Local Government Minister said the government is sincere about providing support to the families who have lost their loved ones to enforced disappearance and killings. Emphasising support for the children of such families, Fakhrul said many of them are living in deep hardship.
"The families of the disappeared are going through immense suffering. So far there has been no effective state initiative to ensure their children can grow up, survive and live with dignity," he said.
Fakhrul said he will inform Prime Minister Tarique Rahman about the matter and write to him seeking government allowances for the affected families.
"I will write to the Prime Minister that providing allowances for these families is very important and it should be ensured as their rightful support," he added.
