BSS, Mymensingh:: Prime Minister and BNP Chairman Tarique Rahman today urged the people to remain alert, saying that attempts were underway to create an anarchic situation in the country.
“Attempts are underway to create an anarchic situation in the country. Stay alert,” he said while addressing a gathering of BNP leaders and activists as well as villagers after inaugurating the re-excavation work of the ‘Dharar Khal’ in the Bailor area of Trishal in the district.
“Everyone must remain alert about those who want to create this anarchic situation in the country today. Because if an anarchic situation is created in the country at this moment, the government’s development activities will be obstructed. The country’s people will be in danger,” the premier added.
Referring to the murder of child Ramisa at Pallabi in the capital, he said, “Three-four days ago, a very unjust, very tragic and heartbreaking incident took place regarding how this little child was killed.
“From the very beginning, we have been saying that if any person commits a crime in the eyes of the law, he or she must be punished. We want to establish the rule of law. However, everything must be done according to rules and regulations,” the premier added.
Noting that the government has certain rules and regulations to give punishment or bring any wrongdoer to justice, Tarique Rahman said, “Yet, centering around one incident, some people have been trying for the last few days to create a murky situation in the country”.
“They are blocking roads, stopping vehicles, setting fires and creating tensions here and there. Those who are doing these things are obstructing the rule of law,” he added.
The Prime Minister further said, “When the interim government was in power, we saw several tragic incidents like this in the country. When those injustices occurred, I personally spoke to the mothers of those children, our party’s lawyers and doctors went there to provide treatment and legal assistance. But those people who are now making noise, blocking roads and speaking loudly, we did not see them in the field then, nor did we see them blocking roads.”
“Then should we assume that since the people of Bangladesh voted for BNP in the February 12 election and gave it the mandate to form the government, some quarters are now burning with frustration and conspiring because of that?” He questioned
Urging the countrymen to stay vigilant, Tarique Rahman said, “We must remain cautious. Those whom the people of Bangladesh ousted from this country on August 5 are connected with those who are now trying to create chaos. Just as they did in 1996, just as they did in 1986, with them some new tails (associates) have now also emerged. Nice little tails have also grown.”
“We have ousted authoritarianism from this country. The dictator that had taken away the people’s voting rights, their right to speak, and had stopped all development for the working and rural people. The people of Bangladesh, united on the streets with students and masses, drove them out of the country,” he added.
Stating that the country’s people now want to build the country, the Prime Minister said, “The people of Bangladesh want to change their fate. If we want to change destiny, we must activate the 40 crore hands of our 20 crore people. We must put the 40 crore hands of our 20 core people to work. Only then will we be able to change the fate of the people of this country.”
