Chief Adviser`s Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam has said that Sheikh Hasina has called 180 million people terrorists. It`s unthinkable.

``He will come to power by killing everyone. I think all political parties need to make a decision about Sheikh Hasina and the Awami League.``

Shafiqul Alam made the remarks at a programme at Hotel InterContinental on Saturday.

"It`s time for all political parties to take a clear position regarding Sheikh Hasina and the Awami League. The way she is still speaking -- branding those who participated in the July Uprising as terrorists -- is deeply alarming.``

Criticizing fascist Sheikh Hasina`s recent statements to international media outlets, Shafiqul said, "Her rhetoric labeling the people of Bangladesh as terrorists poses a grave threat to our politics. When someone is branded a terrorist, it means they are being marked as expendable. Is she trying to return to power by declaring 180 million citizens as enemies?"

Referring to journalist Enayetullah Khan`s book, he added, "Enayetullah Khan once wrote that Sheikh Mujibur Rahman made 65 million collaborators, now his daughter is calling 180 million people terrorists. It`s unthinkable."

Shafiqul also said the country faces an existential political crisis, adding said all parties must come together to defend democracy.

On the upcoming national election, he said, "The government is fully committed to holding the election in the first half of February. There should be no uncertainty about that."
