UNB, Dhaka :
The movement for ongoing ‘quota reform’ has become a “ploy of BNP-Jamaat” who wants to destabilize the current stability and progress in the country, says the government on Thursday.
“These attacks are similar to the violence that took place in 2014 committed by BNP-Jamaat, which was rejected by EU Parliament through adopting two resolutions,” Foreign Minister AH Mahmood Ali told diplomats in a briefing at State Guesthouse Padma.
In course of discussion, the Foreign Minister also
expressed his disappointment at the statements issued by some members of the diplomatic corps in this regard.
Foreign Minister Ali said even after assurances from Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, a vested quarter hijacked the demonstrations and created anarchy in the campus.
The movement for ongoing ‘Quota Reform’ has been marred by violence and acts of terror, he said adding that the anarchists attacked the house and family of the Vice Chancellor of Dhaka University.
The Foreign Minister also briefed the session about the human rights situation in Bangladesh.
He reiterated that the government of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is committed to protect and promote human rights in Bangladesh.
Minister Ali informed that during the third cycle of Universal Periodic Review of human rights situation in Bangladesh, held in the Human Rights Council in Geneva, 105 countries joined in praising Bangladesh for various achievements and for its actions towards promotion and protection of human rights.
He said the government has been making remarkable progress in socio-economic field.
The UN Secretary General has recently visited Bangladesh and said that Bangladesh is an “economic miracle”.
Minister Ali said Bangladesh was currently facing formidable challenge of hosting 1.1 million forcibly displaced Myanmar Nationals.
“We are trying to ensure their safe and sustainable return to Myanmar. We strived to create a democratic, multi-cultural, multi-ethnic, multi-religious, peaceful and prosperous country,” he added.
