Foreigners might have forgotten BNP-Jamaat's misrule

Awami League Advisory Council Member Amir Hossain Amu on Wednesday said foreigners might have forgotten about BNP-Jamaat's misrule that had pushed the country behind.

He said during their ten-year regime, Hindu community people across the country and leaders and activists of the then opposition party Awami League were brutally tortured by BNP.

"They (the foreigners) had also protested BNP-Jamaat's oppression during their tenures," Amir Hossain Amu said while speaking as the chief guest at a function of Janmashtami, the celebration of the birthday of Lord Sri Krishna, in Madan Mohon Akhrabari Temple premises in the district this noon.

President of Madan Mohon Akhrabari Temple Tapon Rai Chowdhury chaired the function, while Deputy Commissioner Farha Gul Nijhum, Police Super Afruzul Haque Tutul, Zila AL President Sarder Md Shah Alam, Zila Parishad Chairman Khan Sifullah Ponir and Sadar Upazila parishad Chairman Khan Arifur Rahman were present.

Amu said the government will hold the general election as per the constitution. He also urged people to cast their votes for 'Boat' to bring AL back to power.
