“BNP leaders’ speeches and statements proved their involvement in recent attack on Panchgarh Ahmadiyya community,” he said in a media statement condemning the traditional lies and misleading speeches of BNP leaders including its Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir.

The minister said BNP became desperate to grab state power and is inciting communalism in terrorist way failing in the democratic movement.

He said, “Their (BNP) responsible leaders took online platforms to spread provocative statements and specially, the Panchagarh incident were pushed into violence by spreading rumours through their different Facebook pages and IDs”.
