BNP-Jamaat committing secret killings: PM

Risingbd Desk: Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina here today reiterated that the BNP-Jamaat nexus was committing targeted secret killings to create instability in the country.

"Being failed to oust the government through killing people and destroying public and private property in the name of movement, the BNP-Jamaat has launched clandestine killings to destabilize the country`s progress and development," she said.

Sheikh Hasina, also the Awami League chief, said this while addressing a civic reception accorded to her by the expatriate Bangladeshis at Imperial Hotel here this noon.

Foreign Minister AH Mahmood Ali, AL central leader and Gazipur Zila Parishad Administrator M Akhteruzzaman and on behalf of expatriate Bangladeshis Sakura Saber and Saleh Mohammad Arif spoke on the occasion.

Earlier different units of Awami League and its associate organizations greeted the Premier presenting bouquets of flowers.

Sheikh Hasina said the BNP-Jamaat clique was now selectively killing imams of mosques, priests of temples, fathers of churches and teachers of universities alongside common people to create instability in the country.

"Their another aim is to stop the trial of war criminals and foil the verdicts of the court," she said

Referring to recent brutal double murder of Xhulhaz Mannan, a USAID official, and his one of his friends in Kalabagan in Dhaka, she said the aim of the killers was to harm the bilateral relations between Bangladesh and the USA.

Recalling the mindless atrocities and rampage unleashed by the BNP-Jamaat evil force before and after the January 5 polls and in the first three months of 2015, the Prime Minister said when the country was marching forward towards development, the BNP-Jamaat started the politics of destruction.

She said the BNP leader had announced that she won`t return home until the fall of the government. But Begum Zia had to compel to surrender before the court and back home by rubbing her nose on the ground, the PM said.
