PM bashes BNP for its role during BDR mutiny

Dhaka: Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Sunday alleged that all but BNP and Jamaat had lent their support to efficiently tackle the BDR mutiny.
"All except BNP and Jamaat had extended their support to the government in tackling the BDR mutiny on February 25-26, 2009," she told a meeting with the party's leaders from Comilla (South) district at her official residence Ganobhaban.
The meeting was arranged as part of her ongoing views-exchange meetings with Awami League's grassroots leaders.
The Prime Minister mentioned that two hours before the BDR mutiny the opposition leader had gone out of her cantonment residence for an unknown location. "Why did she go under ground, what was in her mind?" Hasina questioned adding that the opposition leader has not yet come up with any answer.
Claiming that the government tackled the situation efficiently, Hasina said had it failed to tackle the mutiny tactfully more dead bodies would have littered across the city. "If we had failed to tackle the situation delicately the city would have seen more dead bodies." 
Hasina said the trial of BDR mutiny at 45 places of the country has completed and those found guilty have been punished. "The trial of mutiny has completed and now the trial of killing is going on." 
The Prime Minister said Khaleda Zia like her husband always tries to come to state power by putting the gun on the shoulder of the army. She also mentioned that BNP and Khaleda Zia are now siding with the anti-liberation forces and trying hard to save them. "The intention of BNP and Jamaat is crystal clear…they want the nation to bow down to others.
The Prime Minister again took a swipe at the journalists saying that nowadays the media people are writing at their sweat will no matter what is right and what is wrong.
"After the 2001 national election, the journalists did not enjoy freedom. They used to receive invisible advice before writing," the Prime Minister said.
At that time, she said, 16 journalists were killed across the country, but the media people failed to write about those.
