Law Minister Md Asaduzzaman has said the people of the country will never again, under any circumstances, give a place to the ousted “fascists”. He said that trying to bring a death-row convict back to the country by spreading fear through bomb attacks and terror will achieve nothing.
He said this as chief guest at a special general meeting organised by the Jhenaidah Journalists Forum at the National Press Club in the capital on Friday morning (13 November).
The law minister said those who dream of bringing a death-row convict back and welcoming them with flower petals strewn on the streets, through bomb terror and intimidation of various kinds, perhaps do not know the ordinary people of this country. The country’s aware citizens will never give the so-called fascists a place, he said.
He urged journalists to write more forcefully against injustice, corruption and drugs.
The minister said that despite many difficulties and challenges, the country is standing tall in the world economically and politically, and this progress will not stop. He also asked journalists to present the government’s achievements and successes of the past nine months in the media on the basis of accurate facts and figures.
Saying that the present government has not chosen the path of extrajudicial killing or enforced disappearance, the law minister said it is not possible to change everything overnight by magic. But the government is ready to pay any price to take the country forward in an orderly way on the basis of accurate information.
He also said he was hopeful that Bangladesh will move further ahead, overcoming every obstacle.
