"The foreign minister did not even change his statement, instead backed it up with another one. Those who seek shelter from other countries have no right to rule this country," he added.
The BNP senior leader made the remarks during a human chain programme organised by the University Teachers Association of Bangladesh (UTAB) in front of the National Press Club Dhaka on Saturday morning.
