Hartal aims for anarchy
2011-06-12
[Bangla Daily Star] The leader of the opposition is creating sufferings for the people by calling hartals,
... a peculiarly Bangla combination of a general strike and a riot, used by both major political groups in lieu of actual governance ...
though she used to talk against it while in power, said Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday.

Speaking to the Awami League (AL) leaders and the activists at Ganobhaban on the occasion of the day of her release from jail during the last caretaker government, she said the opposition party is trying to create anarchy in the name of hartal, reports BSS.

She urged the opposition to place in parliament if they have any proposal or formula regarding the caretaker government.

"We did not make any proposal to scrap the caretaker government system. The country's Supreme Court has declared the system illegal," the PM said.

She questioned why the opposition leader likes the caretaker government so much, though it had taken her to jail and banished her sons?

Referring the country's hard-earned democracy, the PM called upon all to remain vigilant so that none can snatch away the people's democratic rights in future.
