\"Kaleda\"<\/a>BNP chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia has said, Bangladesh does not exist today. It has become only a title now as there is no democracy in the country.
\nShe made the call while addressing the biannual conference of a faction of Bangladesh Federal Union of Journalists (BFUJ) at the National Press Club in the capital on Saturday afternoon.
\nUrging the journalists to write the \u201coriginal history of our independence war,\u201d BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia has said the new generation should be learnt about the history of birth of the country. She said, \u201cWrite original history of the independence and make the future generation aware about it.\u201d
\nRegarding the role of the Awami League during the independence war, she said: \u201c\u201cAwami freedom fighters are refugee. They crossed Indian border at the time of independence war.
\nAwami League should count the number of war criminals in their own team. Former home minister should be in jail as he did not have the right to be in power as he was not freedom fighter,\u201d she added.
\nCriticising the Awami League, she said:\u00a0 \u201cAwami League\u00a0 is not in support of independence war. They are liar and tyrant.\u201d
\nShe added, \u201cWe were much more tolerant during our governance. We did not file false cases against their leaders; we did not make them disappear.\u201d
\nShe also claimed that the people have understood that the ruling party was trying to make them confused by taking about the independence war all the time.<\/p>\n
