Prime Minister Khaleda Zia Wednesday urged mass resistance against militants and asked people to help the administration arrest the perpetrators of the bomb blasts. She said that the real culprits must be unmasked, report agencies.
Addressing a large public meeting at Daulatpur playground at Koilail in Nawabganj, she said those who carried out the bomb blasts in the name of Islam are misguided and must be brought back to the right path. "They are using Islam insidiously--they are the enemies of Islam, the country and the people," the PM said, adding that the government has taken steps to stall such terrorist acts. She urged the people to remain alert against them.
The Prime Minister had a hectic trip from noon to afternoon in Keraniganj and Nawabganj upazilas, laying foundation of the third Buriganga bridge and inaugurating two newly built bridges--Tulshikhali bridge over Dhaleswari river and Mohakobi Kaikobad bridge over the Ichhamoti river.
errorism cannot bring any good for the country," the Prime Minister said adding that the present opposition party was rejected by the people in the last polls for its terrorist activities while in power.
"They also stopped all development programmes and led the country backward by indulging in corruption and politicisation," she said.
"The people understood that that party cannot do any good for them. So they carried out a vote revolution (in 2001) and gave their mandate to the four-party alliance for peace and development," she added. In this connection, she called upon the people to join the ongoing "nation-building movement" to expedite the forward march towards a happy and prosperous Bangladesh under the leadership of BNP and alliance government.
She also urged the people to vote for her party candidates again in the next general elections in 2007 for continued peace and prosperity. "The country would be a prosperous one if the continuity of government is maintained for 15 years," she said.
