Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today blamed BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia for hatching a conspiracy to turn Bangladesh into a failed state and called upon the people to remain alert to foil the plot.
“BNP leader Khaleda Zia wants to make the country a failed and dysfunctional state by enforcing anti-government movement,” said the PM adding that the people will no longer stay with her movement as it is being launched only to protect the war criminals.
Hasina, also president of the ruling Awami League, urged the countrymen to stay alert so that Pakistani agents can never come to the power.  
She was addressing a function on the occasion of Martyred Intellectuals Day held at the Institute of Agriculturists at Khamarbari in Dhaka this afternoon.  
The premier alleged that BNP founder Ziaur Rahman and the party’s incumbent chief Khaleda Zia have rewarded the self-confessed killers of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman by giving them jobs at different embassies abroad.
