Dialogue offer & blueprint for murder can't go together: AL

UNB,Dhaka
Key leaders of the Awami League yesterday slammed the government for what they said offering dialogue on one hand and preparing a blueprint for killing the opposition leaders on the other.
"It's ominous and the consequences will be bad," presidium member Abdus Samad Azad told a press briefing at the party central office. Azad condemned the May 25 armed attack on Mohammad Nasim in Sirajganj that killed a party leader on the spot.
He said Prime Minister Khaleda Zia would not be able to make parliament effective this way by unleashing attacks on the opposition leaders.
"Khaleda will remain responsible for making the parliament inoperative," Azad added.
Former home minister and AL organising secretary Mohammad Nasim, who narrated how the "identified criminals of BNP-Jamaat launched the attack" on his car at Mukundagati Bazar in Belkuchi thana, claimed that it was an wellthought-out plan to kill him.
"I survived the ambush by the grace of Allah, but my party colleague Abdul Quddus, a member of Sirajganj district Awami League and freedom fighter, was killed during the attack," he said.
Nasim said some 50 to 60 armed criminals launched the attack at around 5:30 pm when he and Sirajganj district AL leaders were returning to the district town after holding a peaceful public meeting at Daulatpur High School ground in Belkuchi.
He said the BNP first wanted to disrupt the scheduled meeting by calling another meeting at the same venue, but they could not do so. Later, they drew up a second plan and took position near the house of the local BNP president and the police station and swooped on him (Nasim) and other party leaders.
Accusing police of protecting the criminals, the former home minister said that even the police personnel who on duty behind his car, did not
take any action whatsoever against the attackers.
If the police had fired blank shots and clubbed, the attackers would not have been able to kill Abdul Quddus who was in a microbus behind his car, Nasim told reporters.
He also referred to repeated "assassination bids" on party chief Sheikh Hasina and said her security was withdrawn with an 'evil' motive.
Whatever their conspiracy may be, the BNP-Jamaat would not be able to turn Bangladesh into an Awami League-free country, Nasim warned. "We'll never surrender to this fascist government, we'll not allow it to implement its evil plan. People want an immediate end to this people-isolated government," he said.
Presidium members Abdur Razzak MP, Tofail Ahmed, Abdul Jalil MP and publicity secretary Abdul Mannan also spoke at the briefing.
Abdur Razzak questioned the sincerity of the government in seeing the opposition in parliament. "We want to go to parliament, but the government vitiates the atmosphere," he said.
Tofail Ahmed said an abnormal situation now prevails in the country, where the BDR is conducting operation in different places, including Narayanganj, without the knowledge of the police administration.
