None can come to power by burning people, property: Hasan
Monday, 14 August 2023
Pointing to BNP, Infor-mation and Broadcasting Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud has said none can come to power by hurling petrol bombs, burning people, setting fire to property and even burning the holy Qur'an, reports BSS.
"It is not possible for them (BNP) to come to power by burning people's wealth and even the Holy 'Qur'an'. Because of these reasons, there is no possibility of BNP to come to power," he said.
Hasan, also ruling Awami League (AL) joint general secretary, was talking to the reporters after inaugurating a photo exhibition, organised by Press Information Department (PID) at the secretariat in the city on Sunday, marking the 48th martyrdom anniversary of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
In response to BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir's statement, the AL leader said, "BNP will go back 50 years if it does not join the next elections and it will be difficult for them to survive as a party.
Hasan Mahmud also said the whole world is appreciating the way the country has progressed in the last 14 and a half years.
The Secretary General of the United Nations, the Prime Minister of India, the President of the United States, the Chief Economist and President of the World Bank, different statesmen and the top newspapers of the world also praised Bangladesh for its development spree, he added.
It is sad but true that BNP leader Mirza Fakhrul or his other leaders do not see that, he said, adding that it is the wretchedness of their consciousness, the unhappiness of politics and the pretense of not seeing it, he continued.
About BNP's demand for caretaker government, the information minister said Fakhrul has love for Pakistan as he (Fakhrul) stated a few days ago that Pakistan was better.
They (BNP men) follow Pakistan, he said, adding that there is no caretaker government system anywhere in the world except Pakistan.
"My question is why they follow Pakistan. Those who love Pakistan so much can go to Pakistan if necessary," he said.
