Kushtia: Claiming that the “Awami League chapter is closed,” Rashed Khan, political aide to the prime minister, said the party has no opportunity to return to Bangladesh. He said Sheikh Hasina would not be able to return to the country even if she tried.
He made the remarks on Saturday (September 12) while responding to questions from journalists after visiting the grave of BUET student martyr Abrar Fahad at the Raidanga graveyard in Koya Union of Kumarkhali upazila, Kushtia.
Rashed Khan said, “Sheikh Hasina is trying to return to Bangladesh. However, Jamaat-e-Islami is helping her return. But Sheikh Hasina will not be able to return to Bangladesh.”
Criticizing the 11-party alliance’s long march amid the fuel crisis, he said, “The fuel crisis is a national crisis. Jamaat or the 11-party alliance is organizing a long march by exploiting this national crisis. This will further aggravate the fuel crisis in the country. Please cooperate with the government.”
Addressing Jamaat-e-Islami, he further said, “If you continue organizing long marches like this and create unrest in the state, the Awami League will return.”
Rashed Khan said Sheikh Hasina was waiting to see when Jamaat-e-Islami would create unrest in the country.
“Whether the Awami League will return to Bangladesh depends on Jamaat. If the Awami League returns, it will kill you and me in the same way that martyr Abrar Fahad was beaten to death,” he said.
He added, “I believe Jamaat is conspiring in some way to bring the Awami League back. However, the people of Bangladesh remain vigilant.”
Referring to the murder of Abrar Fahad, Rashed Khan said, “My clear position is that the organization [Awami League] killed martyr Abrar Fahad. There is no opportunity for that organization and that party to return to Bangladesh. Even if Jamaat tries, it will not be able to bring the Awami League back to Bangladesh.”
