BNP pursues politics of vengeance : PM

Steps taken to complete BDR mutiny trial soon, she says

Kuakata : Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Saturday reiterated that the ruling Awami League does not believe in the politics of vengeance and opposition BNP needs to learn from it.
"Had Awami League believed in the politics of vengeance BNP workers would not have been able to be there in their houses after the 2008 general election," she said. Sheikh Hasina was addressing a mammoth meeting at Mozahar Uddin Biswas College here in the afternoon. She said: "Awami League always believes in the politics of peace and tolerance. This is our nature and BNP should learn from us," she advised the opposition party.
In support of her claim, the premier said, "BNP believes in the politics of vengeance. That's why the BNP chief has threatened to make the government crippled. How could the Leader of the Opposition utter words that are not worth of her position?"
Hasina asked the BNP to take lessons from the past and shun their ill-motive to capture power through conspiracy. "Take lessons from the past and keep your confidence in democracy," she said. About the trial of the BDR carnage at Pilkhana, Hasina said the government has taken all necessary steps to complete the BDR (now BGB) mutiny trial within the shortest possible time. "The trial of those BDR members who had got derailed will be held," she reaffirmed.
In this connection, she urged people to inquire who had instigated the BDR mutineers. "I'll request you to find out who were the instigators…which party do these people belong to?" she said.
She also accused BNP of instigating the BDR mutineers and said people know who had brought out procession in support of the rebels.
Hasina also took a swipe at the opposition leader for what she said for Khaleda's efforts to save the war criminals and said she (Khaleda) now spends sleepless nights thinking about saving the war criminals.
The Prime Minister said the opposition leader could not protect the killers of Bangabandhu and it will not be possible either for her to save the war criminals. "You just can't protect the war criminals, the trial has started and it'll be completed on this sacred land," she warned. She also alleged that the character of BNP is to help the killers.
"It started from Zia's regime and it's still going on." The AL chief President the BNP-Jamaat rule was a dark age for the country as there were corruption, killing and looting. "The then Prime Minister (Khaleda) and her sons had bogged down into corruption and plundering."
