‘Govt more dangerous than dengue’
BNP senior leader Gayeshwar Chandra Roy yesterday alleged that the current government “is more dangerous than dengue” as it has involvement with many incidents of killing, enforced disappearances and repression on women.
“The death toll in dengue is much lower than the number of people who’ve been killed, forcefully disappeared and number of women who have been repressed by the government. So, this government is worse than dengue,” the BNP standing committee member said while speaking at a seminar arranged by Jatiya Manobadhikar Andolon at Jatiya Press Club.
The BNP leader further said, “Dengue will be controlled at one stage with united efforts of all. But we should think how we will be organised to save people from those who are involved with the incidents of murder, enforced disappearance, oppression on women and child abduction.”
Terming dengue a national crisis, he said a coordinated effort is necessary to overcome it. He also criticised the two Dhaka city corporations for what he said was their failure to tackle the mosquito menace due to the import of adulterated insecticide through corruption. Gayeshwar said the dengue situation would not have taken such an alarming turn had the city corporations carried out the anti-mosquito drives properly.
