UNB, Dhaka :
Accusing the Prime Minister of indulging in terrorism, BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia on Monday night said Sheikh Hasina only wants blood as blood and bodies make her happy.
“It’s Hasina who has links with terrorist acts. Once Hasina had said she wants 10 bodies against one, and it’s she who had killed people with oars and sticks and set fire to a public bus with gunpowder,” she said.
The BNP chairperson came up with the remarks while addressing a meeting organised by Hindu, Buddhist and Christian Oikya Front at her office marking the 2nd anniversary of Ramu Tragedy.
Khaleda alleged that the ruling party men were behind the attacks on the Buddhist community at Ramu, Cox’s Bazar.
“The real culprits behind the Ramu attacks are still roaming around as they belong to the ruling party. Those arrested were not involved in the incident,” she said.
The BNP chief said, people cannot live in peace when Awami League comes to power as they repress the members of all communities in the guise of secularism.
Referring to Awami League leader Latif Siddique’s derogatory comments against hajj and Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), she said Awami League has no respect for religion.
“No one should make any comment which hurts people’s religious sentiments,” Khaleda said.
She alleged that the government is destroying the country’s all institutions and sectors, including education, with its misrule and corruption. Khaleda claimed that the government is inflating pass rate and number of GPA 5 holders in public examinations to get cheap praises.
“Why do the GPA 5 holders fail in university admission tests? How did they get GPA 5? The government is destroying the education sector by inflating the pass rate,” she alleged.
The former Prime Minister said the country’s people now want to get rid of the misrule and repressive acts of the current regime.
She urged people from all walks of life, including of all faiths, to get united forgetting misunderstanding and divisions among themselves to save the country and its people from the hands of Awami League.
“There’s no democracy in the country,” she said adding that the government is again trying to reestablish one-party Bakshal rule. Khaleda said, they will carry out a peaceful movement together with people not to go to power but to save the country and its people.
A section of Muslims on the midnight past of September 29, 2012, launched a series of attacks on Buddhist monasteries, shrines, and houses of Buddhist inhabitants at Ramu and Ukhia Upazilas in Cox’s Bazar, reacting to a tagging of an image depicting the desecration of a the holy Quran on the timeline of a fake Facebook account under the Buddhist male name.
