UNB, Dhaka :
Noting that the city corporation elections were held in a fair and peaceful manner, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Wednesday said that the residents of Dhaka and Chittagong have rejected BNP, and the country’s people would reject them in the future, too.
“The residents of Dhaka and Chittagong have rejected them (BNP through city polls) and the country’s people will also reject them in the future. I want no one to unleash such nasty politics or play with the fate of people, and stop people’s livelihood earnings,” she said.
The Prime Minister said this after distributing financial assistance between the family members of the deceased of petrol bomb attacks alongside the injured and burned by the BNP-Jamaat over the last three months since January.
Shipping Minister Shahjahan Khan, State Minister for LGRD and Cooperatives Moshiur Rahman Ranga and State Minister for Foreign Affairs M Shahriar Alam were, among others, present.
Besides, the Prime Minister provided financial assistance to the affected people and damaged vehicle owners during the BNP-Jamaat mayhem.
Turning to the elections to Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC), Dhaka North
City Corporation (DNCC) and Chittagong City Corporation (CCC) where all the Awami League-backed candidates came out successful, she said these city corporation polls were held in a fair and free manner as people cast their votes peacefully. Hasina alleged that BNP’s motive was to boycott the election through committing killings and subversive acts. “But, our law enforcement agencies were vigilant enough…but they (BNP) boycotted the election on their own although they got votes which they cannot deny.”
The Prime Minister urged people to vent their hatred to such ‘ugly’ political outfit like BNP as they committed such heinous acts like burning people to death and causing damage to their lives and property under the directives of Khaleda Zia. “There should be nothing but hatred, hatred and hatred to them (BNP).”
Hasina wondered how people stand in favour of BNP and cast their votes for BNP and Khaleda Zia although the BNP men burned people to death during their hartal and blockade for three months, put obstruction to the livelihood of the common people, pushed the lives of some 15 lake SSC examinees to uncertainty, seriously affected the hard-earned people.
Hasina went on saying, “But, I’ve already directed to hunt down those criminals who have committed such subversive acts and ensure their trial through filling cases against them. If those offenders do not get punishment, they’ll repeat such subversive acts again in the future.”
Apparently taking a swipe at former Dhaka University vice chancellor Prof Emajuddin Ahmed without mentioning his name, the Prime Minister said he might have forgotten the parliament election in 1979, ‘Yes-No’ vote during Ziaur Rahman, Magura by-election, Dhaka by-election of Mosaddeq Ali Falu, saying that he perhaps does not see their own faults.
