Information and Broadcasting Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud on Wednesday said the propaganda of BNP and anti-country forces was proved false since Bangladesh has been reelected as a member of the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) with a huge margin.
“Bangladesh has been reelected as a member of the United Nations Human Rights Council bagging the highest 160 votes in the Asia Pacific region. You all know that BNP, some specific persons and some identified organizations are spreading propaganda that human rights are violated in Bangladesh constantly. And they were trying to create confusions by giving false information and data to different countries in the world,” he said.
But, the minister said, Bangladesh has been elected as a member of the UNHRC and it has been proved that their evil efforts of creating confusion have become futile and ineffective. Rather, it has been proved that the government of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is on the right track, he added.
Hasan said these while exchanging views with reporters at the meeting room of his ministry.
In fact, Hasan said, the human rights were violated extremely in the country during the Ziaur Rahman regime. He killed hundreds of armed forces officers and soldiers without any trial, he added.
Even the executions were carried out first while the verdict of trial was announced later, he said, adding these are documented and have evidences.
Hasan, also Awami League joint general secretary, said hundreds of Awami League leaders and activists were killed during Zia’s regime. Begum Khaleda Zia followed him (Zia) and the government of Begum Zia was involved in the brutal August 21 grenade attacks, killings of former finance minister Shah AMS Kibria, Ahsanullah Master, Manzur Imam of Khulna, Humyun Kabir Balu and many other journalists, he added.
