Awami League (AL) General Secretary and Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader said BNP had a plot to capture 'Ganabhaban' like Sri Lanka, if the curfew had not been enforced on the night of July 19 to control the situation created centering the quota reform movement.
"Your (BNP) brutality crossed all limits, even the barbarism of the (Pakistani) occupation forces. The fugitive culprit (Tarique Rahman) from London had a plan to capture the residence of the Prime Minister in 'Sri Lanka style' through mass upsurge," he said.
The AL general secretary said this before distribution of food items among the distressed people at Awami League Dhaka district office in city's Tejgaon.
Quader said BNP is now telling about forging a new platform along with anti-state and anti-development forces. It is normal that their (BNP) collaborators will respond to their call, he said, adding, "Their unity is the unity of arson terrorism . . . their unity is the unity of destruction of the country and its development."
He said masterminds of one-eleven like Dr Yunus has also joined with them. He is now opposing the country openly and urging the foreigners to interfere in the country's internal issues, the minister said, adding even Dr Yunus is demanding holding a new election in his interview to mass media.
The AL general secretary said many foreigners from abroad, including organizations and teachers of universities, are making statements. The government knows who are coordinating them.
He urged the statements givers to see the destructive activities of BNP-Jamaat and their collaborators instead of making statements. They have torched 44 BRTC buses, toll plazas of elevated expressway and metro rail, he said.
Even, he said, the journalists also became victims.
He said Dr Yunus who didn't get respond from people during the one-eleven changeover and opposed the construction of Padma Bridge is in the field again. "He urged India to stop Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. But Sheikh Hasina is not the attacker ... she is the victim," Quader said.
He said the armed force didn't fire a single bullet. The army came in field when the Premier decided to declare curfew, he said.
Quader said Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is visiting the hospitals responding to the call of her conscience.
AL Presidium Members Dr Abdur Razzak and Advocate Kamrul Islam and Organizing Secretary Mirza Azam, among others, were present in the programme while AL Dhaka district unit president Banzir Ahmed conducted it.
The distressed people received 10 kg rice, 2 kg potato,1 kg daal, 1 kg salt and 1 litre oil.
