Information and Broadcasting Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud today said BNP doesn’t join the discussion on Jail Killing Day. 

Hasan Mahmud remarked that the party founder Ziaur Rahman masterminded the heinous killings of four national leaders on November 3, 1975.

He said this to journalists at his Minto Road official residence when asked about why BNP didn’t join Jail Killing Day programmes.

“If BNP discusses on the Jail Killing Day, it will be revealed or it should be revealed that under the provocation of BNP founder Ziaur Rahman, his loyal military personnel had assassinated the four national leaders inside the jail,” said Hasan, also Awami League joint general secretary.

He added: “Therefore, what would they say about jail killing! They can admit the liability. As their founder was involved with jail killing, they don’t take part in a discussion on Jail Killing Day”.
