BNP doing ill-politics over Bangbazar fire

Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader yesterday said BNP leaders are doing ill-politics over the devastating fire incident which  broke out at Bangabazar in Dhaka.

"The Bangabazar inferno shocked the country's people. The flames burned the well-furnished dreams of businessmen and employees to ashes," he said in a statement issued to condemn and protest the provocative speech of BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir.

Quader, also road transport and bridges minister, said people from different classes and professions have stood by the fire victims. "Everyone is trying to help them within their capacity. But, even such a terrible incident could not prevent BNP from doing ill-politics."

He said a probe body was formed to find out the reason behind the fire.

The body will investigate the cause of the fire and prepare a list of victims apart from estimating the amount of damages, Quader said.

"We strongly want to say that legal action would be taken against any person or group found responsible for this horrible incident," he warned.
