BNP-Jamaat‍‍`s politics is to burn people: PM

Awami League (AL) President and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today said that politics of Awami League is just for the welfare of people, but BNP-Jamaat‍‍`s politics is to burn people.

"Their (BNP-Jamaat‍‍`s) politics is to burn people. Do the people want them? Tell me. No, people don‍‍`t want them," she said while addressing an election rally at the historic Bangabandhu Udyan in the divisional headquarters.

The AL chief condemned severely the acts of BNP-Jamaat for killing and burning people, and said: "When we develop the country for the people, at that time BNP- Jamaat unleashed arson attacks."

She reiterate her call to the country‍‍`s people, especially the new voters, to vote for her party to continue the unstoppable progress of Bangladesh, saying the new voters certainly don‍‍`t want their votes to go in vein.

"Awami League believes in the power of the youths. Those who are new voters and will exercise their franchise for the first time, I would request them to cast their votes for boat (election symbol) to ensure the victory of Awami League," she added.

Sheikh Hasina said that BNP-Jamaat has no right to do politics in Bangladesh as they burn people and kill people while people do not want this kind of destructive activities anymore.

"BNP is a terrorist party, this terrorist party has no right to do politics in Bangladesh, because they burn people, kill people," she added.
