The Awami League stands by the people in times of disaster

News Desk: Information Minister and Awami League Joint General Secretary. Hasan Mahmud said, "The Awami League is by the side of the people in times of disaster." He said, "This is a culture of our party, a tradition, because politics is for the service of the country and the people. We were with the people when we were not in power. "

The information minister exchanged views with journalists at the secretariat in the afternoon after inspecting the flood-hit areas in Sylhet-Sunamganj-Netrokona with the prime minister on Tuesday.

He said, “The Prime Minister is the mother of humanity. He ran away, encouraging and instructing the administration and our party leaders engaged in relief activities there. Speaking of relief, there was no rain today. The flood situation has improved a lot compared to before. In some places 4-5 feet of water has gone down. The Prime Minister has directed dredging of major rivers in Sylhet. This is because the carrying capacity of the river has decreased due to siltation. ”

Dr. Hasan said, "As you know, after the flood situation in Sylhet on the 17th, the Prime Minister took immediate action that morning and deployed the civil administration, army and other security forces." At the same time, he ordered the leaders and workers of our party to jump. Today we went to the spot and the locals said in their expression that the Awami League leaders and workers are working shoulder to shoulder with the administration officials. ”

"Our party leaders and activists have jumped out of the water for the people," he said. One of our leaders in Sylhet said that his ground floor was submerged in water, he had raised himself on the second floor and was sheltering and feeding all the people on the third floor. The army's GOC said the location of the floodwaters was unknown. Because where the road was in Haor all merged, not even the island can be identified. They have been guided by local people's representatives and our leaders. Sunamganj DC, ADC pushed a boat and brought a pregnant mother, her husband and a woman to the DC office. The child was born there. The Prime Minister has named her Plavan. ”

Asked about the BNP's various comments on the floods, he said, "When the Prime Minister asked the mayor of Sylhet what he got from his party, he could not say anything. Because nothing was done by his party BNP. Their leaders cannot be found. Sitting in Dhaka, they give long, long speeches, they can't be found there. They do not know that all the ministers and MPs of Sylhet region have gone to their areas. The planning minister is in Dhaka only because of Korona. ”

And Mr. Rizvi's rhetoric on 'floods because of the Prime Minister' seems to suggest that the Prime Minister is also responsible for the highest rainfall in 122 years in Cherrapunji in Assam and the highest rainfall in 100 years in the Sylhet region. That's what his words stand for. Because of the whim of blaming the government for everything, they don't really understand what to say.

Mentioning that even in the midst of the flood disaster, some well-known journalists are involved in mis-journalism, the Broadcasting Minister said. At the time of Corona, at the time of laying the foundation and construction work of the Padma Bridge, it has happened, it is still happening. The flood-hit people have expressed anger over this. We urge the mainstream media to remain as vocal as ever against such propaganda. ”
