President said during the electioneering, ruling BNP had made commitment for reinstating the sacked women employees, but no step had yet been taken to fulfil its promise.
These hapless female employees were forced Into fast after their repeated appeals to the government had fallen on deaf ears, Hasina said and regretted that no official from the concerned ministry visited the hunger strikers.
"BNP is a government of promise-breakers. . . It came
to power by bluffing the electorate and betraying with legitimate demands of the working people and professionals," said Hasina in a statement
She called for immediate reinstatement of the sacked employees of the project.
Striking women burst into tears by hugging Hasina when she went to see their condition on, the pavement outside the Press Club. Hasina stayed there for a while and arranged saline for the strikers.
a memorandum was given to tlic opposition leader on behalf of the striking women.
The Awami League chief yesterday also asked the government to immediately pay the salary-allowances to the workers and employees of the Machine Tools Factory.
Employees of the factory have been passing days in utter misery without having salary for the last six months, she said in a statement
The leader of the Opposition alleged the government was conspiring to close down this big industrial unit at a time when the country should speed up industrial-isation.
Working people arc being forced into movement by the BNP government s failure to solve their problems, she said. "This government has no moral right to remain In power by keeping workers and employees unfed."
