DHAKA: Sajeeb Wazed Joy, son of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, alleged that attack on minorities is the real face of BNP-Jamaat alliance.

Joy came up with the observation in a status update on social network site, Facebook on Monday.

He said, “BNP-Jamaat cadres have attacked minorities in Jessore and Dinajpur in retaliation for voting on Sunday`s election.”

In Jessore, 150 Hindu houses were ransacked, looted and burnt by Jamaat terrorists. In Dinajpur over 100 Hindu houses and shops were vandalized and burnt by BNP-Jamaat cadres,” he added.

“Our Government`s local officials are assisting the victims. We are also trying to identify those responsible and will bring them to justice,” he claimed.  

Joy also said, “This, unfortunately, is reminiscent of the attacks and atrocities committed against minorities after the 2001 elections in which the BNP-Jamaat won. Their cadres pillaged and burnt Hindu houses, often with families locked inside, raped girls and even threw infants on fires in at least two incidents. These people are inhuman. This is the true face of the BNP-Jamaat.”

“I strongly condemn these atrocities. This is terrorism,” he said.
