Violence on Buddhists
AL trashes BNP probe report
The ruling Awami League yesterday outright rejected BNP's investigation on the attacks on Buddhists in Cox's Bazar and Chittagong, saying the opposition had presented its conspiratorial and puzzling statement before the nation.
In the name of so-called investigation, BNP is trying to put the liabilities of the incidents on the government and AL, which is a sheer lie, AL Joint General Secretary Mahbubul Alam Hanif told a press conference at AL president's office at Dhanmondi in the capital.
An eight member investigation team led by BNP Standing Committee Member Moudud Ahmed in its report said law enforcers were inactive during the attack and it was pre-planned.
Hanif also said as a responsible political party it would not be proper for AL to make any comment which could hamper the investigation work.
At another programme yesterday, Hanif accused BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia of going on a tour to China to destroy its relations with Bangladesh.
“Khaleda Zia is in China to complain against the government with stories, cooked up by the corrupt, to destroy Bangladesh's relations with the predominant Buddhist country,” he said.
Hanif made the comments at an extended meeting of AL Dhaka city unit at its Bangabandhu Avenue office.
