Hasina sees Khaleda's link to BDR mutiny
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday alleged that BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia was involved in the BDR mutiny as she had “fled her house during the mutiny and went underground.”
She suspected that Tarique Rahman might also be involved in the February 2009 mutiny as “he had called more than 50 times from London during that time.”
The PM was speaking at a programme at her office marking the distribution of financial assistance among the sick, insolvent and injured journalists as well as the family members of some late newsmen.
“The BDR mutiny had started around 9:30am, but the BNP chairperson fled her cantonment house around 7:30am. Why did she leave her house and go underground?” questioned the premier.
Tarique Rahman, added the PM, on that day around midnight London time had “called 40-45 persons”. “What was the mystery behind too many phone calls on that day?”
The BNP is still talking about the BDR mutiny, said Hasina. “Let me ask a question to the BNP chief and her son. Who could be involved in the [BDR] killings? The person who had left her home can be involved in the incident. Otherwise, why she would have to leave the house?”
About the BNP's movement to foil the January 5 national election, she said some vested quarters are in agony as the people have been passing their days peacefully.
The PM termed “wrong” the decision of BNP not to contest the January 5 election. “If any political party takes a wrong decision, it has to pay for that. They cannot take revenge on the people for their wrong decision,” she mentioned.
