Bangla govt says fended off civil war 29 Aug 2007, 0000 hrs IST , PTI
DHAKA:
Describing the recent student unrest as a conspiracy to ignite civil-military
confrontation, the interim government in emergency-ruled Bangladesh has said it
had saved the nation from a civil
war.
"There were dreadful plans
to pit common people against the army, but we have been able to overcome the
situation.... We have saved the nation from a civil war," law adviser Mainul
Hosein told head of news services of private television channels on
Monday.
Hosein said the
"army-backed national government" of Fakhruddin Ahmed had a roadmap to establish
democracy instead of staging an election alone like the previous caretaker
governments and warned against attempts to frustrate its 'exit
plan'.
"We have an exit plan
and if it is hindered, the survival plan of many people will be frustrated too,"
he said but did not
elaborate.
Hosein's comments
came a week after the government faced its worst crisis as riots erupted in
Dhaka University on August 20 with students opposing the presence of army on the
campus.
Army chief General
Moeen U Ahmed had recently said he suspected a 'plot' behind the unrest.
