Restrain Tarique: Hasina to Khaleda

Wednesday, 17 December 2014


Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has asked BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia to restrain her son Tarique Rahman.
"He behaves and talks like an animal. Unless he is controlled, people will teach him a lesson," Hasina said while speaking at an Awami League event in Dhaka Wednesday.
"Better control your disgraceful son. Or else the people of Bangladesh will not tolerate what he is doing."
Hasina said justice will be meted out to those involved with the Aug 21, 2004 grenade attack. Tarique is a prime accused in that case.
Hasina's furious reaction follows Tarique describing her father and the nation's founder Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman as a 'Razakar'.
Razakar connotes those who supported the Pakistani military effort in 1971 and perpetrated horrible atrocities against Bengali civilians and freedom fighters, according to a news agency.
