Hasan urges BNP to forge unity within own party instead of all parties

CHATTOGRAM, May 29, 2021 (BSS)- Information and Broadcasting Minister and Joint General Secretary of Awami League (AL) Dr Hasan Mahmud today urged BNP and its allies to establish unity within their own combine instead of seeking unity of all parties.

“You have always urged all parties to be united, but there is no unity within your own party. I would request the BNP to establish the unity of its own party first, not the unity of all other parties,” Hasan said.

Referring to BNP leaders’ frequent call for unity of all parties against the undemocratic government, Dr Hasan alleged that BNP was born illegally, again they raise questions about the legitimacy of other parties.

“The High Court judgment also said that BNP was born illegally and in an undemocratic manner,” he added.

Dr Hasan said this as chief guest while addressing a special meeting of Rangunia Upazila AL, held its office this afternoon.

Upazila AL Vice President Abdul Monaf Sikder presided over the function while its General Secretary Engineer Shamsul Alam Talukder conducted it.

Rangunia Upazila Chairman Swajan Kumar Talukder, Rangunia Municipality Mayor Shahjahan Sikder, AL leaders Jamal Uddin, Abul Kashem Chishti, Kamrul Islam Chowdhury, Idris Azgar, Nazrul Islam Chowdhury, Akhter Hossain Khan, Shafiqul Islam, Abu Jafar Chairman, Lokmanul Haque Talukder, Iqbal Hossain and Master Aslam Khan, among others, addressed the function as special guests.

“Look at our Rangunia upazila too. BNP is divided into three parts. Centrally, one BNP leader said one thing and after a while another BNP leader said another thing. Thus, there is no unity among them. Again they speak about the unity of all parties. It is really ridiculous,” he added.

Dr Hasan said there is no unity among them. So all statements of BNP and its allies are ridiculous, he added.

“I would like to request the BNP to establish unity within its own party first, we also want you to remain united and also criticize us objectively,” Hasan said.

The minister said that Bangladesh has graduated from a least developed country to a middle-income country today under the dynamic leadership of Jononetri Sheikh Hasina.

“It has also become a food surplus country from a food deficit country. At the same time, the per capita income of the people of Bangladesh has increased during this Corona period, we have surpassed Pakistan long ago, now our per capita income has surpassed India. At present, the per capita income of the people of Bangladesh is 2,227 US dollars,” Hasan said.

The Broadcasting Minister said that during this Corona period, where per capita income has decreased in all the countries over the whole world, the economy has shrunk, at the same time the size of Bangladesh’s economy and its per capita income have increased.

“BNP and its allies, could not extend thanks to the government for this. Though they were ashamed of thanking the government, they could have thanked the country and the people, but they did not do it,” Hasan alleged.

The Information Minister said that Bangabandhu’s daughter Sheikh Hasina has taken many steps for the development of the country’s rural people. Due to her various steps, every village in Bangladesh has undergone a remarkable change today, Hasan said.

“The village of twelve years back is no more, the past village paths are also no more. The kutcha roads have now been converted into paved or pucca roads,“ he added.

He said that people have witnessed many differences between Bangladesh today and twelve years ago.

“This change has not taken place due to any magic, it has happened due to the magical leadership of Bangabandhu’s daughter prime Minister Sheikh Hasina,” he added.
