Trouble-mongers to face hard time

Home Minister Air Vice-Marshal (Rtd) Altaf Hossain Chowdhury yesterday said the elected government will complete its term to uphold constitutional process.

None has the right to dislodge a government which came to power with a massive people's mandate. The trouble mongers will not be allowed to create anarchy in the name of politics, he said while addressing a council of Patuakhakli Jatiyatabdi Mohila Dal, woman's wing of ruling BNP.

"They (trouble mongers) were not allowed to come out of houses during the recent hartal, and will not be allowed in the February 28 hartal also", he said.

State Minister for Education ANM Ehsanul Haq Milon, State Minister for Culture Salima Rahman and BNP lawmaker Shahidul Alom Talukar also addressed the council, held at the Shaheed Alaudding Children Park in the district town. It was presided over by Prof Laila Ysmeen, convener of the party's district unit.

Home minister's wife Suraiya Akter Chowdhury, district BNP Vice-president Abdur Rashid Chunnu Mia, Jatiyatabadi Samajic Sanskritic Sanstha (Jasas) central secretary Abul Hossain Rana and central Mohila Dal leaders Shahrier Akter, Ferdousi Rahman, Ferdousi Monir and Sultana Ahmed also addressed the meeting.

ANM Ehsanul Haq said one of the ten women cadet colleges planned by the government will be set up in Patuakhali.

The council elected Laila Yasmeen and Jasmeen Jafor president and secretary of Patuakhali Mohila Dal.
