DHAKA, Jan 4, 2024 (BSS) - Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Anisul Huq today said BNP always looks for excuses to avoid election and that is why they burned an innocent mother along with her baby while torching a train recently.
 
"In 2014, they (BNP) had called blockade, killed many innocents by torching passenger buses indiscriminately. They carried out nomination business in 2018. They again called blockade in 2023. Country's people are not safe from such a political party," he said.

"Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has raised monthly allowance of valiant Freedom Fighters to Taka 20,000. We know how to give people back. Other government comes to power for their personal gain, Awami League government comes to power only to serve people," he added.
