Country can’t be left to thief of Hawa Bhaban: Hasan

Information and Broadcasting Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud on Saturday said the country cannot be handed over to the biggest thief and terrorist of Hawa Bhaban.

“Tarique Rahman means the son of corruption and the champion of corruption five times in a row. I do not know the name of number one of Ali Baba’s forty thieves, but if someone is asked ‘Who is the biggest thief of Hawa Bhaban?’, the answer is Tareq Zia,” he said.

Hasan said BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul said that if they can topple Awami League government then they will form a government under the leadership of Tarique Rahman.

“If BNP comes back to power, they will peel the skin of everyone’s back. We can’t hand over the country to those who want to peel people’s backs, so everyone should be united,” he added.

Hasan said these while addressing as chief guest the tri-annual conference of Chattogram North District Krishok League, held at Chattogram Engineers Institution.

North District Krishak League President Nazrul Islam Chowdhury presided over the function while Krishak League president agriculturist Samir Chand inaugurated the conference. North District Krishok League General Secretary Shafiqul Islam presented the organizational report in the conference.

Chattogram North District AL President MA Salam, its General Secretary Sheikh Ataur Rahman, newly elected Zilla Parisad Chairman ATM Pearul Islam, Central Krishok League leader Akbar Ali Chowdhury, Rezaul Karim Reza, among others, addressed the function as special guests.

Terming BNP a winter bird, Hasan said, as the winter birds come from Siberia in winter and eat rice here and get fat and leave again, BNP is like the winter birds.

He said they will come like a winter bird when the election comes. The birds of this winter cannot be given another chance, he added.

Hasan, also AL joint General Secretary, said, BNP has started terrorist activities again, they are the enemy of the people, they are the enemy of the country, they must be resisted at all levels.

“Those who used to collect money from people by creating Hawa Bhaban, installed poles without providing electricity, attacked with grenades on August 21, killed AL leaders SM Kibria, Ahsan Ullah Master and Manjurul Imam, created Bangla Bhai all over the country and killed people by hanging them from trees, exploded bombs in five hundred places at a time, we cannot hand over the country to them,” he said.

Hasan said that the Krishak League is a very favorite organization of Jononetri Sheikh Hasina.
