Resist BNP everywhere as it dreams reverting to Pakistan: Hasan

Information and Broadcasting Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud on Wednesday said BNP would be resisted everywhere as the party proved itself as an anti-liberation evil force, nurturing the spirit of Pakistan and dreaming to make the country Pakistan again.

“Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, in his statement, has proved that they are cherishing the spirit of Pakistan and it (BNP) would make the country Pakistan if they get the opportunity. How he could say that ‘Pakistan was better’ by staying in his own country after 51 years of independence!” he said.

The minister added: “His statement is contempt to the Liberation War, freedom fighters and martyrs and defiance to our independence and sovereignty.”

Hasan stated these while addressing a rally and a human chain at the Central Shaheed Minar in the capital.

Bangabandhu Sangskritik Jote (BSJ) organised the programme protesting the anti-state conspiracy and seditious statements of the BNP secretary general.

Hasan said Bangladesh has left behind Pakistan many days ago in all indexes, including human development, social and economic progress. Even, many Pakistani citizens are telling that Bangladesh left behind their country, he added.

But, he said, BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul is claiming that ‘Pakistan was better’. He proved that BNP is an anti-liberation force and “we can’t hand over the country to the anti-liberation force after 51 years of independence,” said Hasan, also Awami League joint general secretary.

The minister said BNP leaders and activists are vandalising vehicles and carrying out attacks on innocent people in the name of movement. Everyone should resist them in all places, he added.
