Prime Minister’s ICT Affairs Adviser Sajeeb Wazed Joy has said BNP historically holds a sordid record of refraining from standing beside people, especially, during mighty disasters that swept across the county.
“It can be safely said the party is more focused on ballot stuffing and capturing state power than on public safety,” he said in a Facebook post from his verified account.
As the cyclone Mocha hit Bangladesh fiercely, the entire state machinery, alongside Awami League, undertook an all-out evacuation scheme, Joy said.
But, Bangladesh Nationalist Party leaders and activists turned a blind eye to the safety of people in the coastal belt who were prone to the disaster, he mentioned.
“And such apathy to public welfare is nothing new on the part of BNP,” Joy said in his Facebook post that contained a video.
“Take a look at this video and decide if BNP really takes public safety into account,” he said.
