“Individually, I do not have any dispute with Zia, but we do not want distortion of history... Zia's body is not in the Chandrima Udyan, but BNP pays respects there, and such distortion of history should not be allowed,” he said.
The minister said this while he was speaking as the chief guest at the unveiling ceremony of the book "Operation Jackpot", a heroic epic of naval commandos in the great Liberation War, at the conference hall of the ministry, said a press release.
