The minister, also Joint Secretary of Bangladesh Awami League, said BNP is the country’s first party who snatches people rights and its founder Ziaur Rahman 'usurped power standing on the blood of the people'.
"The BNP-Jamaat are still carrying out programmes of attacking people, vehicles and property and torching vehicles in the name of blockade and hartal,” he added.
