The Crime Desk: Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s ICT advisor, Sajeeb Wazed Joy, has reiterated the Awami League’s firm commitment to ensuring peace and harmony for people of all religions. He said that when the BNP-Jamaat cycle ruled the country, the biggest program against minorities was carried out under the auspices of the state.
Sajib Wazed Joy said these things in his Facebook post on Wednesday.
He said this year the puja was celebrated in the festival, which was upheld by the Awami League.
Referring to at least 28,000 incidents of rape, murder, looting, and burning of places of worship and houses on minorities, he wrote that the lives of minorities were turned upside down during the BNP-Jamaat regime.
They do not acknowledge who carried out massive communal attacks on minorities during the BNP-Jamaat government. On the other hand, minority community leaders have recently condemned the campaign of BNP and Jamaat, saying that’minorities are not safe’ under the Awami League government. Sajib Wazed termed BNP-Jamaat’s ‘denial of committing such crimes’ as a ‘failed image-building exercise’. He also compared it to the Pakistan Army’s plot to mislead the world about the worst massacre in 1971.
Reminding that communal harmony has been restored with the assumption of power by the Awami League, he said in his post, “It is our promise that people of every religion can live in harmony in the dream of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the founder of Bangladesh.”
