Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s ICT Affairs Adviser Sajeeb Wazed Joy has said BNP leaders and activists resorted to terrorist activities again as they did in 2013, 2014 and 2015 at the directives of fugitive convict Tarique Rahman, reports UNB.
“Arson attacks on public vehicles and cops by armed BNP men evoke similarities of BNP-Jamaat orchestrated street violence back in the run up to 2014 national polls,” he wrote in a facebook post from his verified account on Sunday.
Sajeeb Wazed Joy said that BNP’s sit-in programme at the key entry points of Dhaka city was marred by clashes and violence on Saturday, leaving an unspecified number of police and general people injured.
In the post both in Bangla and English with a Bengali title “Previous and current eras of BNP’s arson terrorism”, he also uploaded a video clip of violent acts carried out by BNP men in 2013-14 and 2023.
