| Tarique: Bangabandhu should be charged with sedition |
| 2014-11-07 |
| [Dhaka Tribune] BNP's Senior Vice-Chairman Tarique Rahman ...the elder son of former President of Bangladesh Ziaur Rahman Bir Uttam, and Khaleda Zia, former Prime Minister of Bangladesh. He is the Senior Vice Chairperson of Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP). His nickname is Pino. There are allegations that Pino took a rakeoff from every foreign investment into the country while Mom was in office... has come up with yet another suggestion that Bangabandhu should be charged with sedition for taking oath as the president of independent Bangladesh as a "Pak national." Addressing a programme in London on Wednesday, Tarique said: "I have heard that a sedition case has been filed against me for highlighting real history. But, I think such a case should be filed against Sheikh Mujib. He returned to Bangladesh with a Pak passport after around 25 days of independence. So, he should be sued to resolve the question that has arisen over his oath taking as a Pak national." |
