Foreign Minister Dr. Hasan Mahmud today called BNP a political giant like horror cinema, saying the party burns people to death as like it is seen in the horror movie that the monster burns people and eats their flesh.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe way BNP has burnt people to death and attacked them, they can be called monster. These scenes only we see in the horror movies. So, the term \u2018monster\u2019 can be used for BNP,\u201d said Hasan, also Awami League\u2019s Joint General Secretary.<\/p>\n
He said this replying to a journalist\u2019s question on BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul’s statement that a monster is eating everything at the YNT Center of city\u2019s Dewanji Pond lane.
\nThe minister said, \u201cTarek Zia is enough to destroy BNP, no other else is needed. As long as Tarek Zia remains their leader, BNP has no chance\u201d.<\/p>\n
About BNP\u2019s call for boycott of Indian products, he said in fact, the party called for boycott of Indian goods as part of its plan to destabilize the market.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut no one in the country responded to their call, not even their leaders and activists. We have been able to control the market nicely. The price of many products have also come down,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Dr Hasan also said the armed organization KNF has been accused of carrying out various terrorist activities including bank robbery in the Chattogram Hill Tracts.<\/p>\n
He said it is known that KNF is also contacting with the nearby terrorist groups.<\/p>\n
\u201cBangladesh law enforcers already freed the abducted bank manager conducting raid against the terrorists. The government is determined to eliminate them,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Responding to another question on freeing of abducted MV Abdullah sailors by Somali pirates, the foreign minister said an all-out effort is on, talks are ongoing with the hijackers and the sailors are fine.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs negotiations have progressed so far, we hope it will be possible to make them free soon. Foreign ships are also ready around that ship. In addition to negotiations, there is also pressure on the hijackers,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe hope the ship and sailors will be freed soon. But, it is not possible to tell the specific date,\u201d Hasan added.<\/p>\n
Turning to prices of essential products, he said some unscrupulous traders and hoarders tried to destabilize the market taking advantage of BNP’s call for boycott of Indian products.<\/p>\n
\u201cEven, centering Eid, dishonest syndicates are always active in Bangladesh. But, we are determined to crack down on the corrupt traders as well,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Mentioning that the media also has a big role in this regard, Dr Hasan urged the media outlets to promote the fact that the market is fairly stable during Ramadan and the prices of some products have come down.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf the price of a product increases, it is publicized in the media. But if the price of a product decreases, it also needs to be publicized,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
