Ruling Bangladesh Awami League presidium member Jahangir Kabir Nanak on Sunday urged the party people for resistance, saying that the party had reached the end point of its patience.
Nanak made the call while briefing journalists at the Awami League president鈥檚 political office in Dhanmondi in the afternoon.
His call came up at a time when clashes were taking place all over the country on the first day of the non-cooperation movement called by the Student Movement Against Discrimination, which was pressing for聽 the resignation of the government of prime minister Sheikh Hasina.
Blaming the main opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party and banned Jamaat-e-Islami for the attacks, Nanak said that the anarchy carried out by the BNP-Jamaat extremist groups must be resisted.
He also said the movement on the streets with a one-point demand for the government鈥檚 resignation was not of the students but rather of the BNP and Jamaat conspirators.
The protesters must take responsibility for the resulting situation, the killings and violence, he said, adding that the stability of the country could not be destroyed in the name of a movement.
