Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal on Sunday alleged that BNP activists are instigating the ready-made garment workers.
He made this allegation while talking to reporters at his secretariat office in the capital.
The Home Chief further said,"Garment workers' salary were increased earlier and the garment owners will solve the workers' problem.”
We have seen that the BNP activists instigating the innocent workers, he added.
Turning down the United Nations' observation that BNP leaders are being arrested due to political vengeance, the minister said, "BNP killed a policeman and injured many policemen during the October 28 rally. The law enforcement agencies arrested those people involved in beating a female leader, attacking chief justice's residence after checking video footages.”
He also said, “Without asking their activists to refrain from carrying out attacks the BNP leaders declared hartal from the rally stage. Top leaders are also responsible for that.”
About the UN Chief's request to allow BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia go abroad for treatment after releasing her, the home minister said the government has taken steps to provide better treatment for her with the facility to bring physicians from abroad.
Replying to another queries about BNP's participation in the next election, he said its' BNP's decision whether they will take part in the election or not.
Referring to the arson attacks being carried out by the opposition activists during the ongoing blockade, Asaduzzaman, said the people of the country will resist them.
