UNB, Bogra :
Renewing her allegation that Khaleda Zia wants to tarnish Bangladesh’s image by killing foreigners, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Thursday said people will not allow conspirators to make the country a terrorist state.
“Staying abroad [UK], she [Khaleda] wants to taint the country’s image through killing foreigners in Bangladesh in a planned way. They (BNP-Jamaat) want to turn Bangladesh into a terrorist country through unleashing terrorism, militancy and creating Bangla Bhai as they did in the past,” she said.
The Prime Minister was addressing a mammoth public rally at Altafunnesa Playground in the district town in the afternoon.
Sheikh Hasina, also the chief of the ruling Awami League, said people will not let the country become a terrorist state as they do not believe
 in terrorism. “People believe in peace, no matter how much conspiracy Khaleda hatches…Bangladesh will become as a peaceful country in South Asia.”
The Prime Minister urged people to stay alert against those conspiring against the country. She inaugurated and laid the foundation stones of a number of projects from the rally venue and termed those ‘gifts’ for the people of Bogra. “The people of ‘boat’ never deprive the countrymen as they come to deliver something.”
Hasina said, the people of North Bengal have forgotten the word ‘Monga’ in the last seven years as her government has ensured food security through boosting crop and cereal production.
Continuing her scathing attack on her arch rival Khaleda Zia for her destructive acts to foil the January-5 polls and again in 2015 for long three months from January to March, Hasina said the BNP chief burned many people to death through arson attacks on buses, CNG-run rickshaws, trucks, and other vehicles.
Referring to BNP’s boycott of the last general election, the Prime Minister said if any politician makes a mistake in political decision making, then his or her party men would definitely have to suffer.
“Khaleda Zia has committed such a mistake by boycotting the polls…she also committed heinous acts of killing people to foil the election. So, Khaleda and her son (Tarique) will ever be treated as a killer by the people of Bangladesh,” she told the rally.
