“We’re in ability. As to why our authorities earns a bad name by establishing fires to buses. Besides, it really is our duty to make sure security to the people,” she said.
Thanks to technological advancement, those people who are setting fire are being caught red handed while there are CCTVs in every places. It is very clear who had been behind the arson strike, she said adding there are images of the culprits in her hand.

Noting that at this point technology is advancing far and technology speaks, the Primary Minister played the track record of a telephone call conversation between a head and a female activist of BNP in the House.
She said it really is their old habit that they shift blame on the federal government after setting fire. Because, there is problem in the building blocks of the get together. Ziaur Rahman had gripped the energy amid the killings. The party he created understands the politics of killings, hands and violence better. They made Bangla Bhai and militancy, resorted to diverse bad deeds incorporating corruption and funds laundering.
The Prime Minister said the party dropped public confidence as it made a fugitive convict of a killing and 10-truck arm haul cases as the party acting chairman. Features BNP no qualified innovator in the country who could possibly be its performing chairman? They made a fugitive convict as the acting chairman, she said.

About the BNP’s participation in the election, Sheikh Hasina said “My question is if they are taking part in the election at all.” They are spending nominations but they haven't any marketing campaign or offer polling brokers properly. They carry out nothing at all on the election and at one level they withdraw from the race expressing that the election is not held properly.
She advised the BNP take on the election seriously.
The PM said BNP actually shed the support of the persons an extended ago after to arrive power with conspiracy in 2001. From October 2001, they resorted to differing types of misdeed and they resorted to arson violence and burnt many persons alive.
She said BNP is wanting to get mileage banking the trying time to give the federal government a bad name as the people are in trouble due to the fallout of Covid-19 pandemic. The government has been hoping its level best to help the people and keep carefully the wheel of the market relocating this critical time.
The people haven't any trust and confidence in them. The persons rejected them actually in the 2008 general election and then the persons moved away even more from them because of their misdeeds.
