The BNP yesterday asked Information Minister Hasanul Huq Inu to make his position clear about Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman when Bangabandhu was killed in 1975.
“Sheikh Hasina has appointed [in her cabinet] such people who were against her father. Inu and his people waged armed movement to oust Sheikh Mujib’s government,” Asaduzzaman Ripon, acting spokesperson of the party, told journalists at a press briefing at the party’s Nayapaltan headquarters.
“They [Inu and his party] introduced politics of criminal activities in the country. They are now talking about democracy – what a farce!”
Referring to Awami League leader Sheikh Fazlul Karim Selim’s statement that Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal had plotted Bangabandhu’s killing, the BNP leader said: “Hasanul Huq Inu has to make his position clear, otherwise he should resign from the ministry.”
Ripon said: “Inu and other ministers like him are talking against Khaleda Zia for their publicity and to draw attention of the prime minister.”
