BNP hasn’t moved away from destructive politics: Hasan

City Desk :
Information and Broadcasting Minister Hasan Mahmud on Wednesday said that Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) has not yet moved away from “destructive politics”.
He made the remark while talking to journalists on current affairs at the ministry’s meeting room in the Secretariat, reports UNB.

Hasan Mahmud, also joint general secretary of the Awami League, criticized BNP’s recent activities, saying, “BNP has once again demonstrated its engagement in conflicting and destructive politics. Yesterday, they organized a march program across the country. Meanwhile, our party brought out ‘peace and development processions’. It has become evident that BNP’s main objective with their program is to create chaos in the country.”

He pointed out instances where clashes occurred between BNP and the police or Awami League activists at nine locations in the country, and said, “They burnt a Chhatra League leader’s bike near Mirpur Bangla College in Dhaka, and the national flag was also set on fire. Several Awami League activists were attacked and injured in Khagrachhari. They also vandalized the municipality building.”
“In Bogura’s Satmatha junction, BNP activists started throwing bricks at police, and law enforcers had to resort to using tear gas. At the same time, BNP activists tore down the festoons and banners of Awami League leaders in front of Samad Academy in Lakshmipur, inciting clashes at various locations. It is evident that BNP’s intention is to create a tense situation in the country through these confrontations, but we will not let it happen,” he went on.
