AL won't counter BNP agitation, says Hanif
Awami League will publish a memorial book and make a documentary on the political life and struggles of Hasina
Ruling Awami League (AL) will not take any programme countering agitation programmes of the main opposition BNP, said AL Joint Secretary General Mahbubul Islam Hanif yesterday.
He said people will not support BNP's programmes if AL tells them about development programmes taken by the government in past two years.
Answering questions at a press briefing after a joint meeting at the political office of AL president in the city's Dhanmondi, Hanif also said AL will celebrate the homecoming of its President Sheikh Hasina on May 17.
Hasina returned to Bangladesh from exile on May 17 in 1981, six years after the brutal assassination of most of her family members including Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman on August 15, 1975.
The meeting decided to publish a memorial book and make a documentary on the political life and struggles of Hasina, he said.
The party will bring out a colourful procession marking the day from Institution of Engineers, Bangladesh in the city, ending at Dhanmondi 32, said Hanif.
Party leaders will place wreaths at Bangabandhu's portrait in front of Bangabandhu Memorial Museum at Dhanmondi 32 in the city.
All Dhaka lawmakers; presidents and general secretaries of AL associated bodies; City AL president and general secretaries; and departmental secretaries of AL central executive committee; were present at the meeting presided over by AL Presidium Member Sahara Khatun.
