The prime minister said Dr Kamal Hossain, who claims to be an internationally renowned lawyer, has forged an alliance with those who are responsible for killing people in arson attack, eating up orphans’ money, money laundering and for corruption.
“Kamal Hossain speaks loud against corruption, terrorism and militancy. But he has formed alliance with two recognized militant and terror organizations- BNP and Jamaat, accepting Tareq Zia as his leader,” she said.
“Was there no leader in BNP who is eligible to be the acting chairman of BNP?” asked Sheikh Hasina, also the president of Awami League, saying Tareq is convicted in a money laundering case, the ten truck arms smuggling case, the grenade attack case of August 2004 and now staying abroad as a fugitive.
