Hasina, president of Awami League (AL), was addressing a function at the Engineers Institute marking independent lawmaker Shamsuddin Ahmed's joining AL.

"BNP and Jamaat know that people don't want them again... if people get the chance to exercise their franchise freely they'll give an appropriate answer to the alliance for their misdeeds," she said.

"The country and its people are not secure under the alliance government. We've to remove the government from power at the earliest through a mass movement," Hasina said urging the people of all strata to unite resisting the alliance rule.

She also urged the party activists and the supporters to join the 'Dhaka Long March' on February 5.

The AL chief said the BNP-led alliance government captured state power using the terrorists and they are patronising the terrorists and militants to carry out their design.

Referring to the prime minister's (PM) claim about the country's development, Hasina said she (PM) is 'only cutting red ribbons of projects taken up by the previous AL government'.

Accusing the PM and her family for all the grenade and bomb attacks in the country, she said, "This is the reason the government is not interested in investigating any of these cases."

The opposition leader also accused the PM for what she said 'plundering national wealth'. "People will take account of all their wealth, which the prime minister and her family made illegally," she said, adding, "If I get the chance to run the country in future, I will return all the money to the people."

Referring to Shamsuddin's joining the AL she said, "His joining AL is a protest of the killings, repression and terrorism of the alliance regime."
