Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today said that the aim of her government is to preserve democracy and improve the fate of the people. “Preserving democracy and developing the fate of the people is our aim,” she said while inaugurating the Mirpur-Kalshi flyover in Dhaka. Sheikh Hasina said that after much struggle, AL has been able to ensure people’s voting rights. “People had cast their votes to AL and elected us in the elections in 2008, 2014 and 2018 to run the government. AL came in the power elected by the votes of people,” she said. Sheikh Hasina said that people of Bangladesh are aware of their voting rights, and if anyone rigged elections, they would never accept that. In this connection, she said that everyone remembers the February 15, 1996 election during which BNP tried to hold onto power through rigging votes, and Khaleda Zia declared herself as the prime minister. The PM said as Khaleda rigged votes the people did not accept it and forced her to step down in less than two months through a massive movement. She recalled that similar incident had happened while the BNP was in power after 2001. She said that BNP included 1.23 crore of fake voters in the voter list trying to return to power through rigging, a design foiled by the people’s movement. She said that many were elected uncontested, while people realised that their votes will be rigged. They initiated a movement again and Khaleda Zia was ousted, she said. The PM said that in 2008 election, BNP managed to bag 29 seats out of 300. Later, they won another seat in a by-election. “We came to power repeatedly through the votes of the people, by attaining their trust and confidence, and developing the country,” she said. Sheikh Hasina, also the AL chief, said that her party believes in the empowerment of people while BNP is trying to confuse people.

The law ministry has given its opinion saying ‘no’ to the proposal for sending BNP Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia abroad for taking treatment. The opinion was given as there is no provision in the law for sending a convicted person beyond country’s border. The recommendation of the ministry said that there is no scope for any person to go abroad or cross the border of the country as he or she is convicted. As Begum Khaleda Zia is convicted then she has to be pardoned in connection with the punishment she was awarded. As the court awarded her the punishment, so only the state authority can pardon the punishment. Now state only can decide about the matter. AH

But they do not know that it is not possible to cancel this title with their desire. He said this at the inauguration event of BNP’s year long programs on the occasion of golden jubilee of independence held at Hotel Lakeshore in the capital on Monday.

Numbers of leaders and activists are in prison during the tenure of this government. Even many died in the jail like Nasir Uddin Pintu.

This government has broken all the dreams of hope and expectation. We want to show dream to the people. We want to pay respect to every freedom fighter. We want to evaluate each and every people of this country. So, let’s work unitedly after 50 years of independence to fulfill the dreams. AH          

BNP standing committee member Gayeshwar Chandra Roy said, martyred president and BNP founder Ziaur Rahman moved forward with the unfinished tasks of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman during his stay in prison. Ziaur Rahman declared the independence of Bangladesh in absence of Bangabandhu after accepting his leadership during the liberation war. For this reason Awami League should award posthumous reception to Ziaur Rahman on the eve of golden jubilee of independence. He said this at a human chain organized in front of Jatiya Press Club on Friday. National Democratic Party (NDP), a component of 20-part alliance observed the program protesting the decision of cancelling Ziaur Rahman’s ‘Beer Uttam’ title. Gayeshwar Roy said, martyred president Ziaur Rahman was a state recognized title owner freedom fighter. He was the only Beer Uttam title owner who with extreme brevity fought the liberation war staying in the land of Bangladesh. So the title should not be snatched away rather he should be given posthumous reception by the government. Criticizing Jatiya Muktijoddha Council (JaMuKa) he said, a number of fake freedom fighters were made during the tenure of Awami League government. Many of them are withdrawing allowances and doing services. After seeing these it seems that their contributions are more than the frontline freedom fighters. Participants in the human chain protested the decision of cancelling Ziaur Rahman’s title and demanded its withdrawal. NDP chairman AM Abu Taher and Labor Party chairman Mostafizur Rahman delivered speeches among others in the human chain. AH
