BNP creates a reign of terror in country: Kamal

Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal today said BNP has created a reign of terror to make Bangladesh a failed state.

"BNP is not an opposition party.... Jatiya Party is an opposition party in
the parliament. Virtually, BNP is now a political party isolated from the
country's people," he told a function at Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC)
at Gulshan in the city.

DNCC Mayor Atiqul Islam, Md Ali Arafat, MP, Inspector General of Police (IGP) Chowdhury Abdullah Al Mamun, senior secretary of the Public Security Division of the Ministry of Home Affairs Mostafizur Rahman and Dhaka Metropolitan Police Commissioner Habibur Rahman, among others, addressed the function.

The home minister said BNP is launching destructive activities across the country in the name of movement. He asked members of law enforcement agencies to resist their destructive activities during the ongoing blockade.

Atiqul said, "Today, smart on-street parking is being introduced on eight
streets at Gulshan in Dhaka city under pilot programme. We are expecting that the newly introduced parking system will bring a positive result in the traffic management in the Dhaka city."

All roads under DNCC will be brought under smart on-street parking in phases to make Dhaka city livable through smooth movement of vehicles, he added.
