Khaleda warns AL

STAFF CORRESPONDENT, Sylhet
Prime Minister Khaleda Zia yesterday said law enforcers would go tough on 'troublemakers' who will attack police and damage property in the name of hartal in future, in a sharp warning to the Awami League (AL).
"Resist the trouble-mongers," she asked people in a speech to a public rally at Chhatak High School in Sunamganj.
Sounding the warning to the AL, she said: "You will face stringent action if you damage public property," adding, "Law enforcers were asked to treat the chaos-mongersFROM PAGE 1
with iron hand" and "There will be no more concession."
Pointing out that it was one of the key responsibilities of the government to protect the life and property of people, she said her government would not hesitate to carry out its duty.
She said the AL was up for creating anarchy and gave three hatal calls in five days with that intent.
Referring to bomb blast in the house of Muhibur Rahman Manik, former AL lawmaker for Chhatak, she said he emerged as "Bomb Manik" when his party was in power.
Finance Minister M Saifur Rahman, Prime Minister's Political Secretary Harris Chowdhury, Whip Fazlul Haque Aspia, Deputy Minister for Industries Abdus Salam Pintu, Adviser to the Commerce Ministry Barkatullah Bhulu, lawmakers Kolim Uddin Ahmed Milon, Shafi Ahmed Chowdhury, Nozir Hossain, Dilder Hossain Selim, Ilyas Ali and
Farid Chowdhury spoke on the occasion, among others.
Kheleda accused the AL of speaking of democracy, but not following democratic practices while in office.
People voted down the AL for what she said was their misrule and repression and installed the BNP-led coalition in office in a right decision for a change for better.
Accusing the AL of ruining the economy, politicizing the administration, sponsoring criminals and promoting examination cheating during its rule, she said signs of recovery replaced the bleak scenes under her government.
She expressed satisfaction over the government's performance to add a zest to the economy, improve law and order, raise foreign exchange reserve and expanding stipend for women students.
Referring to local demands, Khaleda assured the people of infrastructural uplift in the area.
