PM accuses BNP chief for BDR mutiny
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday called upon all to refrain from creating any barrier to the country's development, saying the process of development would continue.
"There is a section of people who finds a 'but' in every development initiative and tries to hinder the process of development. But I believe the people would resist all such conspiracies," she said.
Hasina, also the ruling Awami League president, was addressing a party rally at Suhrawardy Udyan in the capital, marking Homecoming Day of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
Bitterly criticising her political archrival, BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia, for her controversial remarks about the number of martyrs in the Liberation War, Hasina said, "It is an audacity of Khaleda to attempt to create a controversy over the contribution of freedom fighters, while an estimated 3 million people laid down their lives for the independence of Bangladesh.”
About the war crimes trial, the PM also said a section was out to obstruct the trial but no conspiracy would work.
Hasina also accused Khaleda of being involved in the 2009 BDR mutiny.
Bss reports: "The BDR mutiny was held with the direct patronization of Khaleda Zia and her son Tareq," the prime minister said, adding that Khaleda Zia's behaviour, telephone call and other activities give testimony to their link with the carnage.”
The premier said Khaleda Zia still cannot forget her love for Pakistan. So she talks for Pakistan in the same tune of the collaborators of Pakistan and dares to create controversy about the numbers of martyrs in the War of Liberation, she added.
