PM visits hartal victims at DMCH, urges opposition party to shun politics of destruction
Dhaka, June 30 (UNB) - Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has urged opposition BNP and its chairperson Khaleda Zia to shun “politics of destruction” and instead work for people’s welfare and development.
The Prime Minister made the call on Wednesday morning when she visited Faruk and Suman, the two youths who received serious burn injuries on Saturday night when miscreants, reportedly identified as supporters of June 27 (Sunday) hartal, set fire to a vehicle carrying the two friends near Maghbazar rail crossing.
Of the two victims, 60 percent of Faruk’s body was burnt while Suman received serious burn injuries on head, face and other parts of his body.
On her arrival beside the bed of Faruk at the burn unit of Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Faruk’s mother burst into tears as she hugged the Prime Minister.
“What harm my son had done to the miscreants. Why they set fire on my son?” she said
Consoling her, the Prime Minister in an emotion choked voice assured Faruk’s mother of bearing all medical expenses of Faruk and Suman.
“Burning innocent people by enforcing hartal without any pro-people issue cannot bring anything good for the people and the nation,” she was quoted as saying by PM’s Press Secretary Abul Kalam Azad.
“I request the opposition party to shun politics of destruction and work for people. Come to the Parliament and do your duty that the people have reposed on you by giving votes for you,” Hasina said.
The Prime donated cash money for Faruk and Suman at the hospital.
Faruk’s mother narrated how Faruk and his friend Suman were burnt by the hartal supporters.
Faruk and Suman, the two friends who are small businessmen, were to return home on Saturday night after buying some kitchen materials.
As the car carrying them stopped beside a shop near Maghbazar rail crossing, miscreants had sprayed petrol on their car and set it ablaze.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina also visited several other patients at the burn unit of the DMCH, who were seriously injured in recent Neemtoli fire incident.
Hasina passed some time beside them and reassured them of bearing their all medical expenses.
Health Minister Dr AFM Ruhal Huq, Mustafa Jalal Mohiuddin MP, Press Secretary Abul Kalam Azad, Special Assistant to Prime Minister Abdus Sobhan Golap, IG of Police Nur Mohammad and DMCH Burn Unit chairman Dr Samanta Lal Sen, were, among others, present.
Meanwhile, Bangladesh Insurance Association and Rabeya Foundation respectively donated Tk 26 lakh and Tk 10 lakh to the Prime Minister’s Relief and Welfare Fund.
Insurance Association President AKM Rafiqul Islam and Rabeya Foundation chairman Ragib Ali handed over the cheques to the Prime Minister at Ganobhaban on Wednesday morning.
