We don`t want to become another Gaza: Mirza Fakhrul 

Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has said that discussions should have been held with political parties regarding providing a corridor to reach humanitarian aids to civilians in Myanmar. 

The BNP secretary general made the comment at a public meeting in Sheikh Bazar area of Jagannathpur union of Thakurgaon sadar upazila on Monday (April 28) afternoon.

He claimed that the matter was a unilateral decision of the interim government. 

The BNP secretary general said, “There is a war going on in Gaza now. People cannot go there. But if the UN wants to send food and medicine there, they use a road built through Jordan or Egypt. Good thing, there is a need for humanity. Bangladesh has to give a human passage (humanitarian corridor). This is a very big decision. Our independence, sovereignty and future peace, order and stability are involved in this decision. The government should have talked to the political parties about the issue. Instead of doing this, they are giving human passage by taking a unilateral decision.”

At that time, district and upazila BNP leaders and activists and the general public were present.
