'BNP polluted Bangladesh’s politics'- Sheikh Hasina
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said that was born through murders and conspiracies. The founder of BNP was a killer and he floated the party with those who were involved in murders. So there is nothing to defend it, she said.
Sheikh Hasina, also the Awami League president, was addressing a discussion as the chief guest at Bangabandhu International Conference Centre on Friday (August 30) afternoon.
Dhaka city north and Dhaka city south units Awami League jointly organized the discussion on the occasion of the National Mourning Day.
The Prime Minister said the party which handed over the blood-stained national flag to the killers is nothing but a party of murderers. They were born through killing and their character has not changed even till today, she said.
AL General Secretary Obaidul Quader was present at the discussion as the special guest, while Dhaka City North AL President AKM Rahmatullah, MP presided over it.
Sheikh Hasina said Ziaur Rahman after coming to power had stopped the trial of the war criminals. Tribunal was made disfunctioned. He formed the cabinet with the killers of Bangabandhu and with the anti-liberation forces. BNP should know one thing that High Court pronounced the taking over power by Ziaur Rahman as illegal. So the creation of BNP was also illegal. They polluted the politics of Bangladesh. They established the politics of ‘murder’ by destroying the politics of ideology.
Sheikh Hasina said that on 15th August not only a family was killed but through it the history of our country was tried to erase. The contribution of Bangabandhu from language movement to liberation war was erased. There was only BTV where the name of Bangabandhu was banned.
Daughter of Bangabandhu said that on 15th August, 1975 there was repetition of ‘Karbala’ at Road no 32 of Dhanmondi. Just before 15 days I along with Sheikh Rehana left the country that helped us to survive miraculously. It is a tragedy that the killers killed such a person who gave them country, who brought them liberation.
Sheikh Hasina said that the present BNP leaders have started to sing new song saying that BNP was not formed in 1975 then how BNP was involved with Bangabandhu killing? But the fact is that the founder of BNP Ziaur Rahman himself was involved in Bangabandhu killing, she alleged. Ziaur Rahman was not only involved in Bangabandhu’s killing but also stopped the trail of Bangabandhu killing. Ziaur Rahman gave legal coverage to Indemnity Ordinance through the 5th amendment of the constitution thus blocked the trial. Ziaur Rahman also rewarded the murderers by providing them with very lucrative jobs in the foreign missions, she said.
