UNB, Dhaka :
State Minister for Foreign Affairs M Shahriar Alam has said Tarique Rahman, now acting chairman of BNP and living in London, surrendered his nationality by handing over his Bangladesh passport. “How does he play the role of BNP’s acting chairman? He rejected Bangladesh nationality by surrendering his green passport,” he said.
The State Minister made the remarks while addressing a reception hosted by the UK Awami League in honor of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in
The Prime Minister also mentioned that the government is continuing its process to bring him back.
Turning to the recent attack on Bangladesh High Commission in London where the attackers vandalised the portrait of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, she said how dare they do it!
“This is our High Commission, we got the High Commission as Bangladesh attained the Independence. These culprits insulted the pictures of the Father of the Nation storming into the High Commission…let me ask, where did they get so much courage from?” Hasina questioned.
Coming down heavily on the officials who were in the High Commission at that time for their reluctance when the culprits were vandalising it, the Prime Minister asked, “Why couldn’t they take any step to do something against the vandalisation? This is my big question.”
Hasina urged the expatriate Bangladeshis living in the UK to give a befitting reply to this heinous ransacking in the Bangladesh High Commission.
Branding Ziaur Rahman, Khaleda Zia and Tarique Rahman as killers, Hasina said the country has to be saved from these killers. She also mentioned that Tarique is continuing his terrorist acts living in London like what he did in Bangladesh.
