BNP sponsor of anti-liberation forces: Hasan

Awami League Joint General Secretary and Information and Broadcasting Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud on Friday said the anti-liberation forces are still showing their arrogance in the country even after 50 years of independence.

"The anti-liberation forces are still active, they are not happy with the development and progress of the country. BNP is the main protector and sponsor of the anti-liberation forces. We have to protect the country from this evil force," he added.

Hasan said that the evil forces spread confusions in the country time and again. Confusions were spread during corona and construction of Padma Bridge and now they have started making fun of the people of the country, reports BSS.

The minister said this as chief guest at a discussion meeting on Independence Day, held at city's Sholashahar LGED Auditorium organized by Chattogram North District AL.

Dr Hasan said the corona pandemic and Russia-Ukraine war increased commodity prices around the world and the price of some import-dependent products have also gone up in this country too.

"Considering the situation, Bangabandhu daughter Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has given family cards to one crore families so that the low-income people do not fall in sufferings and can buy TCB products at low prices. But the BNP and some intellectuals cannot tolerate reducing sufferings of the people," he added.

Dr. Hassan said the genocide of the innocent people took place at the night of March 25 in 1971.

"We have demanded for its international recognition. We are continuing our efforts and its international recognition is logical. But when the leader of a party who served as prime minister said three million people were not actually killed in the country during the Liberation War then the question of international recognition of the genocide arose. Such statements by the BNP, Khaleda Zia and the BNP's efforts to protect war criminals are obstacles to international recognition of the genocide," the minister added.
