Bangladesh minister blames opposition BNP for communal violence

He asserted that the government would uproot communalism from the country. 

New Delhi: Bangladesh Information minister Dr Hassan Mahmud blamed the opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) for the recent incidents of communal violence that happened in the country.

He alleged that the perpetrator was sent by someone to create the disturbance across the country and give rise to riots.

“There are some elements who are trying to destabilise the government. I want to make it very clear that it is BNP’s handiwork. Neither the Hindus nor the Muslims can do something like this. Ikbal, the accused person was sent by someone to create the disturbance across the country and give rise to riots,” said Mahmud.
