Chattogram: Information and Broadcasting Minister and Awami League (AL) Joint General Secre-tary Dr Hasan Mahmud yesterday said dialogue can be held with political parties not with arson-ists.
“Those are not political parties which carry out arson attacks on people, public transports and hos-pitals and torch the holy Quran. Those are not political activities,” he said while inaugurating the restored mural and photographs named ‘Bangabandhu means Bangladesh’ in city’s Jamalkhan area.
Chattogram City Corporation Mayor Freedom Fighter Rezaul Karim Chowdhury and the daily Azadi Editor MA Malek, among others, addressed the program as special guests.
Dr Hasan said the government is determined to eliminate the arsonists and miscreants.
Extending thanks to ward councilor Saibal Das and the authorities of Diamond Cement and the daily Azadi for restoring the mural of Bangabandhu, the minister said, in fact, BNP-Jamaat only knows how to destroy the history.
About the ongoing blockade called by BNP, he said the countrymen rejected their call and every-thing is normal. The offices, court and schools are open though they are trying to create panic through arson attacks in some places, he said.
