Persons making audacious remarks against constitution should go to Pakistan: PM
Prime Minister (PM) Sheikh Hasina Wednesday said those who can say they would throw away the national constitution and throw it to dustbin should go to Pakistan, as they do not believe in sovereign and independent Bangladesh, reports UNB.
"The opposition leader (Khaleda Zia) said that she would throw away the constitution and some of her associates have wanted to throw it to dustbins. How audacious they are! They do not believe in the country's independence and sovereignty. They should go to Pakistan," she said.
Hasina said these in her opening remarks at the Awami League (AL) working committee meeting held at her official Ganobhaban residence in the afternoon.
Strongly commending the opposition leader's remark on the constitution, the PM said that if she (opposition leader) would have respect toward the constitution, she could not make such remarks.
"She has forgotten that 3.0 million (30 lakh) people sacrificed their lives and 0.2 million mothers and sisters sacrificed their honour to attain the constitution of independent Bangladesh."
Referring to a condolence message of the then PM Khaleda Zia on the death of a Pakistani General, Hasina said that being a prime minister she (Khaleda) had sent a condolence message on the death of a Pakistani General. "We all know where her (Khaleda) heart lies."
She alleged that the opposition leader and Jamaat are trying to save the war criminals and the killers of Ivy Rahman and others who lost their lives in the August 21 grenade attack. "But they would never be able to save the killers and the war criminals," she said.
The PM said that during the AL's upcoming sitting the Election Commission (EC), the party will emphasise on further strengthening the EC.
"The EC is independent now. It will be further strengthened to arrange elections in free and fair manner."
She also said that the AL government never tries to influence the EC.
Hasina said that with the 15th amendment to the constitution, avenues of grabbing the state power unconstitutionally that had began after the killing of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman have been stopped forever.
She said: "People have got their power back through this (15th) amendment. This amendment has safeguarded the people's empowerment."
The premier said the opposition leader is now "crying" for the caretaker form of government, but when the AL in the past spoke about this, she (the opposition leader) had commented that none is neutral except a mad person or a kid.
"If she (Khaleda Zia) demands the caretaker system of government, she has to admit that the last caretaker government had done the right thing by filing corruption cases against her and her sons."
She said that it was the last caretaker government which found out that Khaleda Zia had "plundered the money of orphans under the Zia Orphanage."
Hasina said the people now want to see the country's democracy running uninterruptedly and economic emancipation is attained.
