No compromise with terrorists, says PM
The prime minister, Sheikh Hasina, on Thursday said her government would not compromise with the perpetrators of the recent terrorist and militant activities saying human race cannot concede defeat with devils. ‘We will resist the devils and Insha Allah we will be able to restore peace again in the society,’ she said adding that there would be no place for militants and terrorists in Bangladesh. The prime minister was addressing the 35th national rally of Bangladesh Ansar and Village Defence Party at Ansar-VDP Academy at Shafipur of Gazipur. Ansar and VDP director general Major General Md Nazim Uddin, PM’ adviser Tarique Ahmed Siddiqui, state minister for home Asaduzzaman Khan, chiefs of three services and senior civil and military officials were present. The Prime Minister said the evil force had started killing people again in the same style they indulged in before last January 5, 2014 election.
In the name of politics they were blazing buses and trucks and burning people alive. ‘Are they human being or devil, who are burning people without any reason and what kind of politics it is?,’ she asked saying their activities were sheer terrorism and militancy. As many as 100 people fell victim of their cruelty, injuring several hundreds. The air of burn unit of Dhaka Medical College filled with the wails of the people injured in firebomb attacks, she said. Sheikh Hasina said all victims of firebomb attacks were innocent people. They were bus and truck drivers and marginal people live on their daily eking. There was no value of the lives of toiling masses to Khaleda Zia, she added. She said it was the sacred responsibility of the government to protect the lives and properties of the people. So the government has deployed Ansar Bahini along with police, RAB and BGB to curb subversive activities in highways and railways. She praised the role of Ansar in protecting the properties of Bangladesh Railway before the last year general election when the country was reeling on unprecedented sabotage of BNP and Jamaat cohorts.
The scale of destruction of properties declined remarkably after deployment of Ansar to protect Bangladesh Railway, she said adding that they have showed highest level patriotism and courage. Sheikh Hasina said, so far 8,328 ansars were deployed at 1,041 points of Bangladesh Railway. ‘Twelve ansar members in each of 993 points on highways are also being deployed,’ she added. The Prime Minister said BNP and Jamaat started their vandalism when Bangladesh is on the road of vibrant economic growth and living condition of the people is improving.
