Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal on Saturday said the government itself was looking for 35 people who were in the missing list of the human rights organisations, reports BSS.
"We are looking for 35 people, who are involved in arson attacks," he said, while speaking as the chief guest at a seminar at Poet Sufia Kamal Auditorium of the National Museum.
Bangladesh Mahila Oikya Parishad organised the seminar on 'Socio-economic status and security of religious minority women in Bangabandhu's Sonar Bengal: Vision 2041' with its president Supria Bhattacharya in the chair.
The minister added, "There are thousands of people talking about disappearance. Then I said to give me the list. Then a list of 76 people was given to me. Later it was found that 10 of them are BNP activists, who are staying at different places. And we are looking for 35 people too, who were involved in arson attacks. Another person was seen in jail."
Stating that there is no such thing as minority in the country, he said that Bangabandhu spoke about the non-communal Bangladesh, adding, "So, here we are all Bangalis, we are moving forward with that spirit."
