C T Online Desk: Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal has said that many people adopt many strategies when it comes to elections. Many people use such tactics to come to power without the people’s vote.
But the Prime Minister trusts the people and considers the strength of the people as his own strength. Therefore, he does politics with the strength of the people. He does politics with the trust of the people. Those who misbehave will be condemned by the people and will move away from the people.
He was responding to a question from reporters after inaugurating the Police Liberation War Museum, Chittagong at Dampara in the city on Thursday (March 24).
Asked about the BNP’s support for the strike called by the Left Alliance on March 26, the minister said the strike was a political exercise. Political parties can do this. Our point is that if anyone obstructs, vandalizes or does anything destructive in the streets during the 26th strike, then the security forces must play their role. We think that political parties will show tolerance. They will not do any vandalism or destructive work. Will not cause misery to the people. Will not harm the lives and property of the people.
The home minister said he had called a strike over rising oil prices. It has not only increased in Bangladesh. Increased worldwide. Transportation costs have tripled since the Russia-Ukraine war. Our country imports oil, a lot depends on imports. Therefore, the abnormal rise in import prices has had some effect on the domestic market. This is not unusual. The Prime Minister has reduced VAT and taxes to keep prices at a tolerable level. Onion and oil prices are now down. There is no shortage of our efforts, yet if anyone calls a strike, we have nothing to say. We will appeal to those who have called the strike not to do anything destructive and not to cause misery in public life.
Earlier, Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal inaugurated the Police Liberation War Museum, Chittagong. Chittagong Metropolitan Police (CMP) Commissioner Saleh Mohammad Tanvir presided over the function.
The ‘Police Liberation War Museum, Chittagong’ has been set up at the Chittagong Metropolitan Police Lines in Dampara, preserving the armory that the revolutionaries under the leadership of Masterda Surya Sen fought against the British rule in Chittagong on 17 April 1930. The museum has been set up by the Chittagong Metropolitan Police to commemorate the martyrdom of 72 policemen and other historical events.
