Left politicians now talking in BNP-Jamaat's tone: Amu

Veteran Awami League (AL) leader Amir Hossain Amu on Saturday said nowadays the country's left politicians are making comments which are conflicting with their own political philosophy and principles, reports BSS.
"Leftists are making comments in the tone of BNP-Jamaat," he told a discussion and doa mahfil marking the National Mourning Day arranged by Pirojpur Zila Samity, Dhaka in the auditorium of the Supreme Court.
Amu, member of AL Advisory Council and spokesperson and coordinator of 14-party alliance, said the comments of politics of those who do left leaning politics in Bangladesh cannot be similar to those of Jamaat-BNP.
But irony is that the left politicians are making comments against their own philosophy, he said.
"I don't know whether they can realise the matter or not," he said.
Amu, who also served as minister in several times, said military dictator Ziaur Rahman gave jobs to assassins of August 15 in different Bangladesh missions abroad, later he brought the killers in politics and formed 'Freedom Party', made them parliament members and brought them in opposition party under an protracted plan.
Zia established anti-Liberation forces politically, economically and socially in the country, he said adding that subsequently another military dictator HM Ershad also followed the footprints of Zia.
Speaking on the occasion as the special guest, Fisheries and Livestock Minister SM Rezaul Karim said a thorough investigation should be held to unearth the behind the scene masterminds of August 15 carnage to allow the new generation to know the truth.
