DHAKA: Disaster management and relief minister Mofazzal Hossian Chowdhury Maya slammed that BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia for celebrating her widely criticized birthday on August 15, the National Mourning Day.

The BNP chief will loose everything if she does not return to the path of democracy leaving the path of violence, the minister added.
