Govt to bring Tarique back for sake of law: Hasan

Information Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud said on Tuesday the government is trying to bring back BNP acting chairman Tarique Rahman to the country for the sake of law, reports BSS.

"There is no matter of revenge. If Tarique Rahman thinks that he has become a victim of political vengeance, he should return home and surrender to court. His offences in graft and criminal cases are visible and that's why he has no such courage," he said.

Dr Hasan, also Awami League publicity and publication secretary, said this while talking to reporters prior to a meeting of AL publicity sub-committee at the party's Dhanmondi office in the city.

He said the Bangladesh government did not unearth the graft of Tarique but the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) of the United States disclosed his corruption.
