Plots on against AL govt: PM
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday alleged that various quarters are putting pressure on and designing strategies to malign the Awami League-led government before the people by labelling it as corrupt to save the war criminals.
She made the remark at a discussion at the Bangabandhu International Conference Centre, organised by Awami League marking the 42nd Victory Day.
Citing an example, Hasina said when the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) is working independently, a foreign agency is putting pressure on the ACC. “If so, how could ACC will be able to work independently.â€
She said when the government is going on with the trial process of the war criminals, many ill attempts are being carried out with the association of local and international collaborators.
In this regard, the prime minister mentioned the incidents of Ramu in Cox's Bazar, the garment factory fire in Ashulia and the killing of Biswajit Das and said that these are not isolated incidents at all.
Reiterating her firm resolves to hold the war crimes trial on the soil of Bangladesh, she called upon all to be vocal and remain alert against the “ill attempts and conspiracies being hatched by the collaborators of the defeated forces.â€
Hasina, also the Awami League president, said in Bangladesh, there is a class of people who could have never gone to the common people, who does not have the capacity to go to power with the votes of people, but wants to go into power through any loophole.
She said that such people having money, property and media through which they conduct propaganda.
AL presidium member and Deputy Leader of Parliament Syeda Sajeda Chowdhury presided over the meeting.
