Khaleda calling hartals to save war criminals

Claims Hasina

UNB, Khagrachhari
Taking a swipe at the opposition for enforcing frequent hartals inflicting sufferings on the common people, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday alleged that BNP only talks in the language of arms.
"They (BNP) only know the language of arms...they don't want peace to prevail in the country ... they only know to cause sufferings to people by indulging in violence, corruption and looting," she said.
The prime minister was addressing a mammoth public rally organised by the local unit of Awami League at Khagrachhari Stadium.
About the fast-approaching general election, the prime minister said the country's people would cast their votes "peacefully" and the next government would be formed with people's mandate. "And that's our goal."
Alleging that BNP does not believe in the country's independence, Hasina said her government has started the trial

of war criminals. "But, the opposition leader doesn't want their (war criminals) trial to take place. So, she (Khaleda) is calling hartal one after another to protect them," she told the rally.
"We won't let anyone play ducks and drakes with the fate of the country's people. There's no place for war criminals in the independent and sovereign soil of Bangladesh. The verdicts of war crimes trial are coming out and those will be executed...their trial will continue," said Hasina, also the AL president.
Mentioning that BNP knows how to make things destabilise, Hasina said that is why they are calling hartals frequently causing untold sufferings to people. "I want to ask the opposition leader what she has gained by enforcing hartals
so frequently though she is passing her days in grandeur and comfort."
Noting that her government has been implementing the CHT Peace Accord, she said, "Although there are some problems and disputes over land, the Land Commission has been constituted to settle those."
The prime minister sought votes from the local crowd in favour of'Boat', the election symbol of AL, to complete the unfinished tasks.
Earlier from the Khagrachhari Stadium, the prime minister inaugurated Ramgarh 50-bed hospital, Armed Police Battalion Barrack Building, a lOOOmts capacity food godown, Bhaibon Chora Bridge, a metrological office, Muktijoddha Complex academic building, Mohalchhari School,
Khagrachhari district council community centre-cum-training center, Khagrachhari police lines school building, hostel of Pankhaiya Para Marma Unnayan Sangsad at Khagrachhari upazila headquarters, Alok Nabograha Dhatu Choitaya Buddhist Temple and Bangladesh Agriculture Research Institute.
Hasina also laid the foundation stones of Grid substation, fire service station at Dighinala, Tai Nandong shelter project, Shantisthambho chief judicial magistrate court building.
AL Advisory Council members Amir Hossain Amu and Tofail Ahmed and State Minister for CHT Affairs Dipankar Talukder, among others, addressed the rally chaired by Khagrachhari AL president Pujendra Lal Tripura.
