Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said on Saturday that the nationwide unrest was part of a plan to completely paralyze the economy and turn Bangladesh into a beggars’ country again.
“This could be their conspiracy to completely paralyze the country’s economy and turn us into a beggars’ country again,” she said.
The prime minister made the remarks in an emotional voice after paying a visit to the National Institute of Traumatology and Orthopaedic Rehabilitation (NITOR) popularly known as Pongu Hospital at Sher-e-Banglanagar in Dhaka to see the people who were injured in attacks during the recent total shutdown enforced centering on the quota reform movement.
She later visited the rampaged Setu Bhaban, the Department of Disaster Management, and the toll plaza of the expressway at Mohakhali in the capital.
Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader, among others, was present at the Setu Bhaban.
Referring to casualties during the nationwide destruction, Sheikh Hasina said, “Everything (dozens of government establishments built to ensure comfort to the people and generate employment) had been gutted to ashes. Today, so many people gave their lives and so many people have become crippled.”
The premier said she repeatedly requested the students to have patience as their desire would be fulfilled by the apex court and the government was also in favor of them.
