BNP leader Mosharraf claims that AL destroyed spirit of Language Movement

Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain, a senior member of the BNP, claimed on Monday that the Awami League government had destroyed the Language Movement's spirit.

Through the Language Movement and the spirit of democracy, we "won independence as we established our mother tongue Bengali as the state language," Mosharraf, a BNP standing committee member, claimed.

Speaking at a discussion centering International Mother Language Day, the BNP leader lamented that democracy is now missing in the country after 51 years of its independence.
