UNB: BNP senior leader Moudud Ahmed yesterday warned that the consequences will be very dire if the government applies force on the demonstrating students seeking safer roads.
“You (govt) are saying you’ve accepted the students’ demands as those are justified. But the organisation which is under a minister has enforced a strike to put transport workers against adolescent boys and girls. What would be more notorious plot than this?” he said.
Speaking at a discussion, the BNP leader further said, “We would like to clearly say if you apply force on the students to suppress their movement, the people of Bangladesh will put up a resistance against it.”
Sammilita Chhatra Forum arranged the programme at the Jatiya Press Club demanding the release of BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia and other party leaders.
Moudud, a BNP standing committee member, urged the government to stop the suppression and repression on students. “You won’t be able to suppress the student movement with repressive measures.”
