It's genocide

PM accuses BNP, Jamaat of killing in the name of hartal, blockade

UNB, Dhaka
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday alleged that the BNP-Jamaat alliance was carrying out "genocide" in the name of hartal and blockade, and said it was not at all acceptable to anyone.
"May Allah give good sense to those who are burning people to death so that they stop such arson attacks... these are sheer killings and acts of genocide, and they are accused of killing people. The BNP-Jamaat nexus has been carrying out genocide," she said.
The PM was addressing the inaugural ceremony of the four-day 4th International Conference on Plastic Surgery or PlastiCon 2015 at a hotel in the capital.
She sharply criticised the ongoing killings of people by BNP-Jamaat
men. "What kind of cruelty is this? What kind of politics is this? This is not politics... these are entirely terrorist and militant activities," Hasina said.
The PM alleged that a particular quarter was providing necessary finance, training and other support to the BNP-Jamaat miscreants for committing such heinous acts.
"If we have failed to run the country, then they could wage a movement against the government. But, there is no sign of government failure in Bangladesh," she told heraudience.
Without mentioning the BNP chairperson's name, she said, why people would have to pay for someone's wrong political decision.
In the name of hartal and blockade, attempts were made to create a terrific situation across the country, Hasina, also chief of the ruling Awami League, said.
When the BNP-Jamaat found that people are not responding to their so-called hartal and blockade, they started hurling petrol bombs on buses, trucks,
trains, and private vehicles killing innocent people, including children and women, she said.
Over 100 people have so far been killed and hundreds more are groaningin the bum units of different hospitals due to arson attacks, the PM said, adding that they had also put the lives of some 15 lakh SSC examinees in danger by announcing agitation programmes.
She, on behalf of the nation, expressed her deep gratitude to the doctors of burn units in hospitals across the country for their tireless efforts to save lives of victims.
Hasina mentioned that 84 burn patients were given family savings certificates worth Tk 10 lakh each, while four were sent abroad for better treatment.
The PM also said data was being collected about those who were killed during the ongoing violence, and their family members would be provided with assistance considering their socio-economic condition.
