OUR CORRESPONDENT, Thakurgaon

BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir yesterday called on a political party to apologise for its misdeeds during the Liberation War before seeking votes from the public.

He made the remark while addressing an election campaign meeting in the Goreya union of the Thakurgaon-1 constituency in the afternoon.

Fakhrul recalled the widespread atrocities committed by the Pakistan army in 1971, saying many families were forced to flee to India and homes were torched.

Referring to his own experience, he said his family home in Thakurgaon town was completely looted and destroyed, including the underground fuel tank of their petrol pump and several trucks owned by his father’s construction business.

“The Pakistan army did all that. And we know very well who collaborated with them at that time.”
