Stop killing and weeping to others: Hasina to Khaleda
Friday, 27 June 2014
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina urged BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia to stop killing people and disgracing the country by weeping to others.
“I’ll call upon the BNP chairperson to stop killing people and also to stop disgracing the country by weeping to others,” she said.
Sheikh Hasina was addressing a discussion meeting marking the 65th founding anniversary of her party at the city’s Suhrawardy Udyan Friday.
Hasina said she could perceive the heartburns of those now talking rubbish. “She (Khaleda) didn’t join the last election, but the election was held, and she’s now crying to her foreign lords having failed to gain support from the country’s people.”
About the BNP chairperson’s recent claim that Hasina was behind the killing of Ziaur Rahman, the Prime Minister said, ”Why we would kill Zia…I’ll rather ask Khaleda where she was during the killing and what was her role then?”
During Ziaur Rahman’s killing, the Awami League President said, she was in Sylhet and was the first person to issue a statement so that constitutional provision prevails in the country instead of martial law.
She said the January-5 election was very much important for maintaining the democratic march forward and safeguarding democracy in the country.
Terming Khandaker Mushtaq as the ‘black sheep’ for the AL, Hasina alleged that after the killing of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman in 1975 with most of his family members, Moshtaq declared himself President and then made Ziaur Rahman the Army chief.
