Rein in your 'terrorists'

PM asks Khaleda

BSS, Dhaka
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday called upon BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia to rein in her "terrorist groups". Otherwise, she warned, stern action would be taken against them.
"You must control the terrorist groups you let loose against Awami League leaders and workers. Every person has the right to lead a peaceful life and we will take whatever measures are necessary to protect that right," she said.
Hasina made the remarks while talking to journalists after visiting the injured AL and BCL leaders at Pangu Hospital in the capital.
A total of nine party leaders and workers, who came under attack by BNP-Jamaat men before and after the January 5 polls, are undergoing treatment at the hospital.
About the BNP chiefs allegation that over 29,000 party leaders and workers had been attested until January 31, Hasina told the journalists that all of them, whose names she |Khaleda| read out at a press conference, had been identified as terrorists.
She said the government would take stringent measures if Khaleda's party men continued to indulge in terrorist acts. "There will be no point in shedding crocodile tears."
"I would like to tell her [Khaleda] the efforts she is making to prove the innocence of her terrorists are a mistake," Hasinatold the journalists.
Referring to the brutal attack on a woman union council member at Kansat in Chapainawabganj, she said terrorists had cutthetendons ofherhands and legs on the directives of a local BNP leader. "We must take action against him."
Hasina, who is the AL president, said the BNP leaders were unleashing atrocities on AL leaders and activists as well as other pro-liberation forces on Khaleda Zia’s instructions.
"The BNP chief does not understand anything except terrorism. Her only job is to commit terrorist acts and she understands these misdeeds well, " she said.
BNP and Jamaat-Shibir men have killed innumerable people and leaders and workers of the AL and its associate bodies in Chapainawabganj, Satkhira, Rajshahi, Gazipur, Sylhet and other areas.
They killed 16 to 17 leaders and workers only in Rajshahi, she said, adding: "Killingpeople istheirpleasure."
Asked what steps the government was going to take against the terrorists, Hasina said, "We will arrest them whenever they aretracked down."
Steps have been taken to ensure the safe return of people who fled their homes after fallingprey to atrocities at the hands of BNP and Jamaat-Shibir men, she told the newsmen.
Earlier, Hasina talked to the wounded party leaders and workers from Rajshahi, Chapainawabganj, Gazipur and Sylhet and assured them of taking necessary steps for their better treatment.
She also directed on-duty doctors to ensure their proper care round-the-clock.
