PM blames BNP-Jamaat\\\'s arson attacks for home-goers\\\' woes
Wednesday, 15 July 2015
Prime Minister (PM) Sheikh Hasina said on Tuesday Eid holidaymakers would have been able to go home enjoying better comfort during the Eid-ul-Fitr had there been no BNP-Jamaat alliance's arson attacks, reports UNB.
"If they (BNP-Jamaat alliance) had not burned the buses, destroyed railway compartments and damaged the railway lines, people might have been able to go their homes more conveniently," she said.
The PM said this while inaugurating newly constructed state-of-the-art passenger ship 'MV Madhumati' and two newly-built ferries of Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Corporation (BIWTC) through a videoconferencing from her official residence Ganabhaban.
Speaking on the occasion, the PM said it was very much regretful that some days ago in the name of a movement BNP-Jamaat burnt buses and trucks. "They set fire to railway compartments…even launches couldn't escape their destructive hands," she said.
Hasina said the attack on the launches was the first time in Bangladesh's history. "BNP-Jamaat can only commit such destructive activities."
She also mentioned that the losses of various sectors during the BNP-Jamaat movement cannot be described in words.
