Information and Broadcasting Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud on Saturday came down heavily on BNP-Jamaat saying nowhere else in the world have people been burned alive to fulfill political ambitions or to gain power.
He said, "There may be ethnic conflict, but in the name of politics, at least in the last two or three decades, there is no such abominable example in the world, which was done by BNP-Jamaat in 2013-14-15 in Bangladesh."
He made the disclosure while addressing as the chief guest at the 'Discussion Program on the occasion of the 48th Martyrdom Anniversary of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and National Mourning Day' organised by Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) at Rajarbagh Police Auditorium in the capital this afternoon.
The minister said, “If any political party had caused such burning incidents in Europe-America, that political party would have been banned. However, Canadian courts have ruled BNP as a terrorist organisation five times in a row. And in the United States they have been identified as a 'Tier-Four' terrorist organisation.”
