Country won't be safe in Khaleda's hands: Hasina
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday said the country will never be safe in the hands of BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia as she is surrounded by anti-liberation forces.
Terming the forces as poisonous snakes, she said, "Khaleda Zia plays with snakes. She is roaming with snakes over her head who had killed intellectuals, oppressed women and carried out massacres during the country's Liberation War."
"So, the country is not safe in your (Khaleda) hands,†she added.
The prime minister was addressing a public meeting organised by Mymensingh district unit of Awami League at Circuit House Maidan (premises).
“The country's people want peace …they do not want Bangladesh to return to militancy and terrorism," she said.
"Peace would not come through BNP …it had made the country a haven of militants and terrorists during its rule,†she added.
Hasina said, “Bangladesh is no longer known abroad as a militant state. Instead, it is established as a model of development.â€
BNP cannot do anything for the people of the country as their main virtue is killing people and indulge in corruption. They can only promote corruption, looting and money laundering, she observed.
Posing a question to Khaleda Zia, Hasina said, “What will you give the country as you have made hundreds of crores of taka from a broken suitcase and torn-vest?â€
Awami League General Secretary Syed Ashraful Islam, Agriculture Minister Matia Chowdhury, Home Minister Mohiuddin Khan Alamgir, Health Minister AFM Ruhal Haque, among others, spoke on the occasion.
