Conspiracy of undemocratic ‘evil forces’: Workers Party

Expressing deep concern and condemnation over the torching of several buses in Dhaka, Bangladesh Workers' Party yesterday said such subversive incidents is the outcome of conspiracy of undemocratic "evil forces".

In a joint statement, Workers Party President Rashed Khan Menon and General Secretary Fazle Hossain Badsha said it seems such incidents are old strategy aimed at paving the way for rising of undemocratic power. 

The two lawmakers from the party also said such terrorist activity is a deep-rooted conspiracy to destabilise the country, when Bangladesh along with the whole world is passing an economically hard time due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

They said an ad-hoc initiative will not work to thwart such a situation.

"Law enforcement agencies become active whenever such subversive incidents take place. Moreover, political programmes are also enforced. But taking long-term strategy is better rather than taking ad-hoc based activities to thwart such subversive activities," reads the statement.
