No killing, forced disappearance has taken place: AL

Wednesday, 5 February 2014


Awami League Wednesday trashed BNP chief Khaleda Zia’s claim that 300 people were killed in the joint forces’ operation saying that no one was killed or faced forced disappearance.  “Our media is on guard. Khaleda Zia delivered blatant lies convening a press conference as she thinks that the media is inept,” Agriculture Minister Matia Chowdhury said. She said this while addressing a press conference arranged at Awami League president’s political office to give party’s formal reaction to Khaleda Zia’s Tuesday’s speech, according to a news agency.  Addressing the press conference, Health Minister Mohammad Nasim said that no killing or forced disappearance took place in the country saying law enforcing agencies arrested people and brought them to book. “Nothing happened except that. Where did she get such information from?”
