Voicing deep concern over the current confrontational political situation in the country, Raushon Ershad of Jatiya Party on Monday said there is no alternative to political stability for economic development.
In a statement, she urged the political parties to avoid violent action programmes as people now do not like it.
“Killing people by torching buses and increasing public sufferings by hurling bombs, removing fishplates of rail lines in the name of political programmes are completely unethical and unexpected,” Raushan who leads her party in the opposition in Parliament said.Raushon also noted with concern that hartal and blockade the main means for realising political demands have now become another name of fear and public sufferings. “Violent incidents are being carried out one after another in the name of hartal and blockade.”
She said the political parties should take such programmes that will not harm the economy and education of the children, the future of the nation.
Mentioning that the country and its economy are being pushed backward by the current hartal and blockade programmes, she said the economy will be badly devastated if the current situation continues.
“The country’s image and the lives common people are hit hard by hartal and blockade. People now want political parties to take non-violent and out-of-street programmes. Political parties should announce programme realising the pulse of people,” she added.
In the face of the current movement Raushan Ershad had announced last week that she would soon ask her partymen who are ministers of the government to give up their portfolios. – Agencies
