Information and Broadcasting adviser Nahid Islam has said that India will be responsible if ousted Shaeikh Hasina is allowed to conduct any political activities from there.
“India gave shelter to Sheikh Hasina and they have some sort of explanation for this. We asked India to return Sheikh Hasina to Bangladesh and that is a diplomatic issue. But if Sheikh Hasina tries to do politics from there, if holds a political meeting in India, then the Indian government will be liable for this,” Nahid said.
The adviser said this at a program on the occasion of unveiling the cover of a book titled- 'Sangbadpatra-e July Ovyutthan' (July Uprising on Newspaper) at Poet Shamsur Rahman Auditorium of Bangla Academy on Wednesday.
“We will continue our resistance. We are always ready as attempts are going on to make people worry and create division in our unity,” he said.
Nahid asked the editors of the newspapers who played controversial roles during the July movement to clarify their role, saying that newspapers played both positive and negative roles during the July uprising.
During the movement, newspapers were forced to release prescribed news but many newspaper houses intentionally built narratives to support the regime.
“Those who were forced to publish the regime’s version should clarify their position to the public, otherwise they will lose credibility,” Nahid observed.
The adviser asked the people to be united for the sake of the country’s well-being.
