Terming the opposition’s December 29 programme illogical, State Minister for Home Shamsul Haq Tuku on Wednesday said they have announced this programme to thwart the upcoming national election and the war crimes trial.

 

“We know they (opposition) won’t hold any peaceful programme…their main aim is to carry out sabotage in the country in the name of the programme,” he told UNB.

 

Replying to a query over the opposition’s request to the police and Home Ministry for cooperation with them in holding the ‘March for Democracy’ programme, Tuku said the law-enforcing agencies will take steps seeing the nature of their programme.

 

“Law-enforcing agencies have taken necessary preparations. They’ll resist all kinds of sabotage and violence,” Tuku said.

 

About the ‘mass arrest’ of opposition activists across the country ahead of their countrywide Thursday’s demonstration, the junior minister said the opposition men are being arrested on the basis of specific allegations.  “No one was arrested without allegation, and this can’t be called ‘mass arrest’,” he added.

 

Earlier in the day, opposition BNP sought cooperation of the police in staging its ‘March for Democracy’ programme on Sunday towards the capital.

 

BNP sent a letter to the Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) informing it about the programme and seeking adequate security for the mass gathering in front of its Nayapaltan central office.

 

The party also sent separate letters to the Home Minister, the Home Secretary and the Inspector General of Police seeking cooperation for staging the rally.

 

Earlier, on Tuesday, opposition leader and BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia at a press conference announced the ‘March for Democracy’ programme calling upon people from all walks of life to march towards Dhaka carrying the national flag to press home their demand for having an election under non-party neutral administration.

  1. IS IT AN UNDECLARED EMERGENCY WE ARE WITNESSING? WHY THE PARTY WORKERS. LEADERS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO ATTEND BNP’S OFFICE, WHY IT IS SURROUNDED BY POLICE 24 HOURS ROUND THE CLOCK? WHAT KIND OF DEMOCRACY IS THIS? DID NOT MUJIB ACT LIKEWISE & EXPEDITED HIS OWN DEPARTURE? IS HISTORY GOING TO REPEAT ITSELF? Entire law or order maintain agency members are deployed in targeting the political opponent and as a result there are no police, RAB, Ansars to do their normal job and the killing of people is increasing day by day. Nobody is safe in the country any more. Haqve we got a government at all?
    This is cowardice as well as criminal to abuse state institution/agency every machinery to arrest, abduct, jail, torture and kill political opponents to perpetuate power. After arresting all the main leaders of the opposition Jalmat., BNP, head of the J.P., Hefajot leaders now Begum Khaleda’s residence has been surrounded by the police, RAB, BGB and armed cadres of the ruling party’s student and jubo league. Party leaders coming to visit the party leaders were arrested. This kind of desperate and panicky illegal action might cause the ruling party and its assorted atheist allies because Hasina would never be able to get rid of political opponents. It is shameful to read the news, watch TV screens where the ruling party leaders using most uncivilized vulgar, obscene language insulting the political opponents. So far 5,700 Jamaat workers have been arrested who were even not born in 1971. How can they WERE RAZAKAR, WAR CRIMINALS OR PAKISTAN SUPPORTERS?-

    UNGRATEFUL WEST BENGALI INDIAN REFUGEE, RAW AGENT ABED KHAN WHO CAME TO OUR COUNTRY TO SAVE HIS LIFE FROM RIOTING ANTI-MUSLIM FELLOW HINDU BENGALIS AFTER WE CREATED PAKISTAN CRYING WOLF: “ THEY WANT TO MAKE SATHKHIRA A MINI PAKISTAN”!!! When we are going to hear that ” IN SATHKHIRA PAKISTANI FLAG WAS HOISTED AND PAKISTANI NATIONAL ANTHEM SUNG”? Pakistan is better off without Banglastan. It would not unite with the killer, chaotic, most corrupt anti-Islamic Awami-Atheist Bengalis. So why the agnostics spreading lie and trying to mislead the people? Who is going to buy their this sort of garbage? In a united Pakistan the Atheist-Awami Bengalis would not have allowed Pakistan to make “ISLAMIC BOMB”. So Pakistan is better off. The entire Muslim world is proud of Pakistan’s achievement that the Indian collaborators cannot digest. Abbas Ali Tarafdar. (82) SYLHET. 25.12.13.=====
