BNP leader Mirza Abbas on Monday said a minister’s suggestion to break the fast with plum during Ramadan is a mockery about people’s religious belief.
Like the people’s voting right, now they are making mockery about the people religious beliefs, he said.
Mirza Abbas, a BNP standing committee member, made the comments while talking to reporters at a press briefing at his Shajahanpur residence in the morning.
“The ruling party leaders will break their fast during Iftar with pricy and imported fruits but advising people to eat plum, what a responsible government they are?”
Replying to a query Mirza Abbas said during Awami League the people of the country can’t preform their religious activities without pressure and fear due to skyrocketing prices of as the daily commodi-ties.
People are passing a horrible time due tp the high price daily essentials whereas Awami League doesn’t bother about the citizens’ sufferings, he added.
The BNP leader said his party is continuing the movement not to capture the state power, rather to re-store people’s rights. “Until we achieve the goal, we will continue the movement against the govern-ment.”
