Three-term PM of Bangla, widow of deceased dictator Ziaur Rahman, head of the Bangla Nationalist Party, an apparent magnet for corruption ...
stages movement demanding disbandment of RAB, Information Minister Hasanul Haque Inu has warned.
Refuting BNP Chairperson Khaleda's logic behind disbandment of the RAB, Inu said: "Ziaur Rahman was rubbed out by some army officials. In view of it, would Khaleda now propose that the armed forces should be disbanded too? Would she propose the same thing because there are lots of allegations against police?"
He made the comment while talking to news hounds after inaugurating electricity services in villages of Mirpur upazila in Kushtia yesterday.
The minister termed Khaleda's demand irresponsible, conspiratorial, anti-democratic and politically motivated. He said dissolution of RAB was nothing but a conspiracy for lending Bangladesh to krazed killers.
Communication Minister Obaidul Quader, meanwhile, also defended RAB and said an entire force could not be discredited because of wrongdoings committed by a handful of its members.
Talking to news hounds on Dhalai bridge, Quader said Khaleda's demand was ridiculous.
"Would she [Khaleda] take back the Independence Award bestowed upon RAB if she re-assumes power?" he said.
