We don't want to see military rule

Says PM; offers home ministry to BNP if it wants

Staff Correspondent
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has again said that her government will not allow any unconstitutional force to rule the country.
"We will allow no unconstitutional forces to grab state power again. We do not want martial law either," she asserted while addressing a rally marking the 41st founding
anniversary of Awa mi League's youth front Jubo League at the capital's Suhrawardy I Idyan yesterday.
Reassuring the BNP-led opposition alliance of a free, fair and credible election, Kasina asked the opposition to participate in the upcoming parliamentary polls and join the

all-party government.
"Which ministries do you want? Even if you want the home ministry, we are ready to give it," she said, pointing to Opposition Chief Khaleda Zia.
Criticising Khaleda for "killing innocent people" in the name of movement, Hasina asked her to come out on the streets to prove her determination.
"You have kept yourself in hiding and hired miscreants to burn people alive. It's unfair. If you want to continue the movement, come out on the streets and show your strength," she continued.
Criticising the incidents of arson, vandalism and violence during opposition's blockades, the premier said, "Khaleda has gone mad for power."
Sheikh Hasina, who is also the AL president, asked her party men to take to the street to resist the subversive activities of the opposition parties.
Hasina, however, said none could foil the election and it would be held on schedule.
The PM also criticised some civil society members who recently called on President Abdul Hamid seeking his intervention to end the ongoing political impasse.
"Some of them were advisers to the last caretaker government. Why did they fail at that time? It is their failure that brought about the 1/11," she commented.
Also present at the programme, AL Presidium Member Sheikh Fazlul Karim Selim even questioned the meaning of such
a meeting.
"What can the president really do? He is given no power but to appoint the chief justice and the prime minister," Selim said.
Earlier during the programme, the premier unwrapped the cover of a book titled Rashtranayak Sheikh Hasinar Ganatantrer Jonyo Sangram (Head of State Sheikh Hasina's Struggle for Democracy) featuring her contribution to establishing democracy in the country.
AL leaders Amir Hossain Amu, Jahangir Kabir Nanak, Ju bo League General Secretary Harunur Rashid and Dhaka University Vice-chancellor Prof AAMS Arefin Siddique also spoke in the programme presided over by Jubo League Chairman Omar Faruk Chowdhury.
