Foreign Minister and Awami League Joint General Secretary Dr Hasan Mahmud said BNP are more dangerous than Somali pirates.
The Foreign Minister said this to reporters after inaugurating the "Chittagong Eid Joy Festival" at Laldighi Chattar in Chattogram on Saturday afternoon.
"Somali pirates did not torture our sailors. They didn`t burn people. But the BNP burns people to death. Under the leadership of Amir Khosru Mahmud Chowdhury, the BNP often became more dangerous than the Somali pirates," he said.
The minister came up with the remarks while replying to a query about BNP leader Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury`s comment that Bangladeshi pirates are more dangerous than Somalia`s pirates.
BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir recently said, "The people of the country are in a lot of sorrow and suffering, the common people could not celebrate Eid properly."
In this regard, Hasan said, "Maybe Mirza Fakhrul Sahib does not have peace in their minds, they say that there is no peace in the minds of the people of Bangladesh. But there is harmony and celebration in people`s minds."
