BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said the government has failed miserably in the coronavirus situation. He made the remarks at a press conference on the current coronavirus situation in the Gulshan office of the BNP president on Tuesday.
Mirza Fakhrul said that the crisis is exacerbated by lack of coordination, myopia, incompetence, incompetence, indecision, delayed decision-making and the dilemma, corruption, opacity, extreme administrative error and lack of responsibility to people. He prayed for the souls of the doctors, nurses, health workers, law enforcement officers, and members of the armed forces who died of Corona. He said that the procession of death due to the crown had created panic in people’s minds on the one hand and hunger on the other. At the same time, the victim of the right to information and freedom of expression is the victim of unprecedented repression. People across the country are in agony.
The BNP secretary general said 65 people have been identified as being infected with the corona virus in Bangladesh on May 3 within 24 hours. The reason for concern is that people have not heard from so many infected people in a single day before. Previously, the highest number of people identified was 741. The total death toll as of May 3 is 18. On the other hand, the number of those who recovered increased from 18 to 1,063 in one jump. The reason given for the number of patients who recovered in such a short period of time is that the new guidelines given by the Clinical Management Committee have been followed.
Criticizing the government for shifting the IEDCR from primary coordination of disease testing to the Health Department control room in the case of Kovid-19 infection, Fakhrul said the sudden change in responsibility for testing was risky, lack of planning and lack of coordination. Meanwhile, the risk of infection increases due to the delay in the new test. Healthcare workers themselves are being harassed administratively for questioning the opacity and quality of the crown’s medical management.
He added that at least two hospital managers and two doctors have undergone OSD or transferred for complaining about the quality of the products supplied, including crown test kits. Although the mask was later supplied by a government investigation, the PPE was found to be defective and the supplier apologized. So why were measures taken against the doctors? However, by wearing these defective masks and PPE, doctors, health workers, and members of the police force have been sent to the front lines at the risk of their lives.
Mirza Fakhrul said a total of 98 people, including 419 doctors, 243 nurses and 324 health workers directly involved in Corona’s treatment, have already been identified in the Kovid-19 sample test and two specialist doctors have died. On the other hand, the number of police attacks is increasing. The country’s doctors and police are at the forefront with minimal security equipment. But Corona’s terrible claws are devouring them.
Mirza Fakhrul said the government was strangling journalists when they reported widespread corruption and irregularities in aid distribution. Again, the government is restricting the opportunity for journalists to learn about information about Corona. Controversial digital security laws are being used to silence critics in the name of dealing with emerging situations. Rather than taking effective measures to prevent real rumors, the government is cracking down on dissidents through social media.
He said 156 incidents were monitored and recorded in 20 categories, including the right to information, irregularities in aid distribution, and violence against journalists. 184 people have been affected, victimized and raped in these incidents. Forty-five people, most affiliated with the ruling party, were involved in 26 high-profile cases of alleged irregularities in relief distribution. A case has been presented on behalf of 25 people for expressing their points of view through social networks. 54 people have been arrested and fined for spreading rumors.
Commenting on the government’s unpardonable indifference from the start, the BNP secretary general said that even if the catastrophe could not be stopped, it was necessary to at least take self-defense measures. Initially, the government could not guarantee that those coming from outside the country, especially China, Korea and Saudi Arabia, would be kept in quarantine. The boasting and boasting of government ministers at the time shows how incompetent and myopic they are. He said that since the emergence of the crown in China and Korea, the government, despite having many opportunities to prepare, has not made effective preparations, but falsely stated that general preparations for the prevention of the crown had been made which were later unfounded.
Mirza Fakhrul said that if the Crown Crisis is declared, when the United States, United Kingdom, Italy and even India and other parts of the world declare a severe blockade, the government of Bangladesh announces a public holiday from March 26 without stopping the public transportation and public transportation. It is. But in the meantime, the catastrophe has happened. The suggestion to maintain social distance did not work. People have gone to town in groups. Increased infection with the corona virus. Later, the Tughlaq incident took place by ordering garment workers to join the job. No matter how much BJMEA is talked about and the lack of government coordination, the government cannot avoid responsibility.
Complaining that a loan package of Rs 5 billion has been announced to pay garment workers’ wages, most workers have yet to receive their wages, BNP secretary-general said, adding that many have lost track due to non-receipt of wages and threats of dismissal. Due to the undeclared partial closure, this class of poor people in this country remain unemployed for millions of days. We must bear in mind that it is not possible in a socio-economic structure like ours to guarantee the permanence of workers in their homes when announcing blockades or holidays as in the developed countries of the West. There is no reason to keep hungry people at home without food security. He said that it was not necessary to be a rich state to face the Corona crisis without problems. Global experience has shown that Vietnam, a smaller South Asian country than the United States and the United Kingdom, has accomplished this through its sincerity, efficient management, and direct withdrawal of funds from the state treasury for the poor in the state. Kerala Indian.
Mirza Fakhrul said the Bangladesh Nationalist Party-BNP has been calling on the government from the outset to take appropriate measures in accordance with the guidelines and policies of the World Health Organization. The BNP had asked the Electoral Commission to postpone the partial elections to the parliamentary elections on March 21 as a source of infection by the coronavirus. The BNP took several public awareness programs to take precautionary measures. Distributed brochures, hand sanitizers, masks throughout the country, including the capital. In a joint venture with the DAB Foundation Ziaur Rahman, an ally of the BNP, all the health workers, including the doctors and nurses who are the main fighters of this Crown War, supported them. Health protection equipment, including PPE, has been distributed among them. What is still happening. In addition, through telemedicine services, DAB physicians provide medical advice to patients over the phone. It has supported unemployed people in remote areas of the country, including the capital, with emergency food assistance. According to the BNP’s Central Relief Monitoring Cell, the number of people receiving help from BNP leaders has already reached 1.2 million.
