PM urges all to remain alert against confusion in name of politics

Prime Minister Tarique Rahman on Saturday urged the countrymen to remain vigilant, saying that a group is spreading confusion in the country in the name of politics.

"A group is spreading confusion in the country in the name of politics. You should stay alert," he said while addressing the Family Card distribution ceremony at Chandpur Government College ground on Saturday afternoon.

Noting that BNP does the politics of changing the people's fate, Tarique, also BNP chairman, said, "BNP's politics means dredging canals, increasing agricultural production, building new mills and factories, creating employment opportunities, ensuring healthcare and guaranteeing public safety."

Addressing the crowd, he said, "If anyone tries to create confusion or anarchy in the name of politics, will you remain silent? We will not remain silent. We will resist with an iron hand."

Every programme undertaken by BNP aimed at improving the living standard of the country's working-class people, the Prime Minister said, adding, "We ousted the autocratic regime through a movement to this end. The people have now transferred power to an elected government. Now it is our turn to change people's fate."

Along with Chandpur, PM Tarique inaugurated the Family Card distribution programme in 20 other districts through video conference under the initiative of the Ministry of Social Welfare.
