DHAKA, Aug 24, 2023 (BSS) - Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Anisul Huq today said Bangladesh will become wasteland if BNP-Jamaat alliance comes to power again.

"Conspiracy to make Bangladesh a failed state, erase Bangabandhu from country's history, is still going on. We have to vote for Boat symbol in the next general polls and make Sheikh Hasina win again to foil this conspiracy. We all have to remain aware as we do not want the BNP-Jamaat's politics of destruction," he said.

The minister said this while addressing as the chief guest a roundtable discussion titled "August Tragedy, National and International Politics" organized by Sampriti Bangladesh, a social platform for prominent citizens, at capital's CIRDAP Auditorium.

Presided over by Sampriti Bangladesh convener Pijush Bandapadhaya and conducted by its member secretary Dr Mamun Al Mahtab Swapnil, the discussion was also addressed by former Appellate Division judge Shamsuddin Chowdhury Manik, Major General (retd) Mohammad Ali Shikder, Dr Uttam Barua, Prof Chandranath Poddar, Prof Hafizur Rahman Karjon, Afizur Rahman and Minar Mansur, among others.

"BNP founder Ziaur Rahman had appointed the killers of August 15, and November 3, 1975, in Bangladesh embassies in different foreign countries. He had formed government with Razakars and Al-Badrs, made Shah Azizur Rahman prime minister. We would form a high-level commission to identify the behind the scene perpetrators of Bangabandhu killing," Anisul Huq further said.

The law minister added that the draft act for forming this commission is ready, adding, "we would establish the truth, so that the next generation can get know about the plotters, perpetrators and their families, and remain aware about them."
