Information Minister and Deputy General Secretary of the Awami League. Hasan Mahmud said that when BNP was in power, they committed all these misdeeds as a group.
He said that no one, from an eight-year-old to a pregnant woman to a woman in her sixties, was spared from the lax forces of the BNP. Those who have gang-raped women in the past find it ridiculous when they speak. So Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir’s statement is ridiculous.
He addressed reporters after addressing the inaugural annual performance agreement (APA) training hosted by Bangladesh Betar at Chittagong Circuit House on Saturday noon.
“The government cannot be given more time,” he said when journalists drew the attention of the Information Minister to the remarks by BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir.
Dr. Hasan said that when Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir spoke, he forgot what he did when he was in power. That is why you can speak so wildly. The government led by Bangabandhu’s daughter, Sheikh Hasina, has exemplarily punished these incidents by judging what happened in the past. The government is determined to give exemplary punishment for what has happened so far.
He said, the BNP leaders haven’t given us time for a long time. They have never wanted to give us time since three months after we formed the government in 2009. But the reality is that the people have given us time and the people’s leader, Sheikh Hasina, has served as Prime Minister continuously for almost 12 and a quarter years. . So whether Mr. Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir gave time or not is not a big problem, whether people are giving time or not is the main issue.
The Information Minister said that women have been empowered in Bangladesh under the leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. It made the quota reserved for 33 percent of women on the local government council. Bangabandhu Kanya has increased the number of women MPs to fifty. For the first time in the country’s history, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has appointed women to various positions, including Chancellor, Interior Minister and Spokesperson. The progress achieved under the leadership of Sheikh Hasina in the field of women’s empowerment is a great example to the world.
“What is happening today is not something that has happened before,” he said. But before there was no prevalence on social media so people couldn’t get to know them. The Noakhali incident was not published for the first time on any television or in any newspaper, not even online. It was first published on social media, followed by other mainstream media. In other words, thanks to social media, but now no incidents are suppressed. This is a good aspect of social media.
Referring to the role of radio in the great war of independence, the Information Minister said: “As long as Bangladesh exists, the history of independent Bengali radio will be written in gold letters.” Radio is playing a very important role in nation building. Many of the radio programs are very good and have great audience appeal.
“Radio is playing an important role in promoting our culture,” he said. Disasters and misfortunes are wireless, but the news gets to the people. Today, the prevalence of social media and smartphones has increased. That is why the initiative has been taken to bring the telephone closer to the radio through applications. Betar Mobile can now be heard in Bangladesh at the departmental level via apps.
The Information Minister said that even though it has a capacity of 100 kilowatts, the Chittagong radio program cannot be heard in Feni due to various reasons, including the surrounding hills. However, here you can listen to the program of the Khulna center of 100 kW capacity, as there are no obstacles. Given the importance of business, commerce, and small ethnic groups, there is a demand for diverse agricultural news and culture across the country. So we decided to upload it to Bangabandhu Satellite as Dhaka Kendra and then download it to different radio stations and listen to it all over the country.
He said that the Chittagong Betar Kendra program would be launched in a very similar way, adding that it would be a great milestone in the history of Chittagong Betar Kendra.
Bangladesh Managing Director Betar Hosne Ara Talukder chaired the event and special guests spoke on the occasion: Chittagong Division Commissioner ABM Azad, Chittagong Director Betar SM Abul Hossain, among others.
