Killing people for movement unconstitutional: PM

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Saturday said those who kill people in the name of movement do not believe in healthy politics, democracy, constitution and the country’s independence. Sheikh Hasina, also the President of Awami League, said Bangladesh’s democratic march forward will continue as her party always tried to run the country as per the constitution. ‘But attempts had been made several times to snatch people’s democratic rights and grab power through an undemocratic way claiming the lives of many people. They (BNP-Jamaat) had played with the lives of people,’ she said referring to the movement of 2012-2013 by the then BNP-led 18-party alliance, adding that people do not want to see the repetition of attacks and killings in the name of agitation. The Prime Minister was addressing a launching ceremony of a photo-album ‘Roktakto Bangladesh’ (Bloodstained Bangladesh) at Osmani Memorial Auditorium displaying the photos of violence last year that left many innocent people dead, according to a news agency.
