Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has said no case filed against BNP men is political as they were accused of specific criminal charges that include arson terrorism, grenade attack, firearms smuggling and corruption.

“BNP is now going everywhere and crying about the cases against them. Ask them, what are the cases about? They committed crimes and legal actions were taken again them. It is the reality,” she said.

“No case against them (BNP men] is a political one … The cases against them are for different crimes. They committed offenses. So, legal action is being taken against them,” she said.

The Prime Minister said the cases should be disposed of quickly to ensure punishment for those crimes.

She said these while speaking at a view exchange with central committee members of Bangladesh Krishak League on the occasion of its 52th founding anniversary at her official Ganabhaban residence this morning.

Mentioning that they unleashed arson violence in 2013 and 2014 to resist the 2014 general election, she said during the mayhem they burnt 3800 cars, buses, launches and trains.

About violence before the 12th parliamentary election, she said they committed the 28th October incident and killed a mother and her child by setting fire to trains to thwart the polls.বিস্তারিত
