UNB, Dhaka :
BNP on Sunday cautioned that the entire nation may pay a heavy price for the government’s denial to forge a national unity to tackle the growing militancy and terrorism.
The party also said a political unity is a must for people’s unity to eliminate extremism. “We may pay price dearly for the government’s refusal to forge people’ s unity. We pray to Allah to protect us. We want the government to realise the reality,” said BNP standing committee member Nazrul Islam Khan.
Speaking at a doa and
milad mahfil, he came up with the remarks reacting to the Prime Minister’s rebuttal to forge a unity with BNP. Jatiyatabadi Swechchhasebak Dal arranged the programme on the ground floor of BNP’s Nayapaltan central office seeking the early recovery of its ailing senior secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi. Earlier in the day, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina at a press conference ruled out the possibility of forging any national unity to curb terrorism and militancy with those involved in terrorism, militancy and war crimes.
“A national consensus among the mass people has developed after the Gulshan and Sholakia terror attacks,” she said. Dismissing the Prime Minister’s allegation, Nazrul said BNP does not do the politics of terrorism as it is a patriotic party. “We’ve repeatedly said we’re against the brutal killings and militant activities that have been carried out in the country. We don’t do such politics.”
