Ashis Chowdhury, Special Correspondent, Broadcasting News Corporation: Home Affairs Advisor Brigadier General (retd) M Sakhawat Hossain said, Do not do anything that endangers your life.
Gather people, and whatever you do, I request you, the public of this country has not yet come to accept you. On Monday (August 12, 2024), the Home Affairs Adviser visited the Ansar members injured in the student-crowd agitation at the Combined Military Hospital. He said this in response to a question from journalists about Awami League. He also said, I think you should re-organize your party.
Mentioning that Awami League has contributed a lot in Bangladesh, M Sakhawat Hossain said, We cannot deny that. Reorganize the party, like a political party, contest when elections come, go to polls when people vote. M Sakhawat Hossain said, ‘Will you (Awami League) hand over this country to someone else? So we fought the liberation war, 3 million people died, stand on those 3 million people and you will hand over the country to another person? The people of this country did not forget so quickly. Because, the leaders who were holding, those leaders are now running away. We cannot save the leader who is being caught. Many leaders have been saved by many, we do not know this.
