| State minister alleges BNP's 'terror links' |
| 2010-12-24 |
| [Bangla Daily Star] The opposition BNP has connection with domestic and international terrorist networks, alleged State Minister for Home Affairs Shamsul Haque Tuku. "Hawa Bhaban had links with beturbanned goons and international terrorist outfits. Even now, they have the connections too," Tuku told UNB in his ministry yesterday when his attention was drawn to BNP Secretary General Khondoker Delwar Hossain's recent remarks. Delwar on Wednesday expressed concern over the prime minister's reported remarks about possible subversive acts in the country as the trial of war criminals begins, alerting her ministers to remain vigil against it. Such remarks by the premier at this time have created anxiety among the people, Delwar said. People know well who patronised militancy and terrorism in the country, said Tuku. About alleged torture on nabbed BNP politician Salauddin Qauder Chowdhury, he said SQ Chowdhury was not tortured physically under police custody. News of torture on him is 'false and baseless.' BNP's politics is based on falsehood and fabrication, he added. BNP has been observing various programmes to protect Khaleda's cantonment house as well as to hamper trial of war criminals, Tuku alleged. |
