Awami League Advisory Council member and former Railway Minister Suranjit Sengupta yesterday said BNP chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia’s politics of jealousy and conspiracy are not suitable in the present days.
“Pursuance of her (Begum Zia) politics of killing, jealousy and conspiracy like that of 20th century is not suitable for the 21st century. She should have to discard this,” he said.
Suranjit Sengupta, a senior parliamentarian of the ruling Awami League, said this while speaking as the chief guest at a discussion on current politics at the Diploma Engineers’ Institution auditorium at Kakrail in the capital.
Bangabandhu Academy organised the discussion marking the 65th birthday of Sheikh Kamal, eldest son Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
Adviser of the Academy and joint general secretary of Dhaka City Awami League (AL) Haji Md Selim chaired the discussion, also addressed, among others, by Prime Minister’s Adviser Dr Moshiur Rahman, AL Advisory Council member Advocate Yusuf Hossain Humayun and office secretary and former state minister for works Advocate Abdul Mannan Khan.
Pointing at Begum Khaleda Zia, Suranjit Sengupta said, “Why people will take part in your movement? We have not experienced in the past such a good administration like this year during Eid. The prices of essentials did not soar this time as the administration remained alert.”
“There was no incident of crimes anywhere during the Eid though the Eid shoppers spent an additional amount of Taka 10,000 crore. I have not experienced such a peaceful and disciplined Eid celebration in my life,” he said.
The senior AL leader said, “Khaleda Zia should have to re evaluate her politics switching over to time-befitting and modern politics. In these days of globalisation, our leader Sheikh Hasina could come up to the need in the politics of South-Asia.
From this Khaleda Zia should take lessons from Sheikh Hasina. Otherwise, nothing could be achieved permanently other than showing temporary sparks.”
Prime Minister’s Adviser Dr Moshiur Rahman said, “There are no words for development of the people in BNP’s movement. They have no thought for development of the country. That’s why people won’t accept them. It would be a time -consuming affairs if they want to take recourse to constitutional politics after rectifying themselves.”
He said, “BNP has been isolated from the people. The change in the government would be settled through polls. Before that nothing could be done to the government by launching movement.”
