Jashore: Prime Minister Tarique Rahman yesterday said it will not be possible to hold back the country’s people by scare tactics.
“It will not be possible to hold back the people of Bangladesh by fear tactics. People of the country can-not be subdued,” he said.
Warning that no one would be allowed to disrupt public peace in the country, the Prime Minister said, “Let us remain alert so that no one can create disorder in the country again. We will not allow anyone to get the chance to observe hartals for 173 days anymore by destroying public peace”.
Tarique Rahman, also ruling BNP chairman, made the remarks at a public rally held at the Eidgah ground in Jashore yesterday afternoon.
At that time, he highlighted statistics of sacrifices made by, repression on, and false cases filed against leaders and activists of BNP during previous movements.
Noting that through implementation of the election promises, the government will be able to change the country’s fate, the Prime Minister said, “The ultimate source of all power of BNP is the people of Bang-ladesh. Thus, BNP wants to complete the unfinished work left by Shaheed President Ziaur Rahman for the welfare of the people.”
