BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia last night condemned Thursdays attacks on religious minorities at different parts of the country.
In a statement, signed by her Press Secretary Maruf Kamal Khan, she also demanded punishment to the perpetrators.
She, however, made no mention of BNP ally Jamaat-e-Islami which, according to victims, unleashed terror
against the Hindus, burning down houses and temples, shortly after a war crimes tribunal gave death sentence to Jamaat leader Delawar Hossain Sayedee.
On March 1, the opposition leader categorically blamed the government for the planned attack aimed to divert peoples democratic movement and destroy the countrys communal harmony.
Now, four days after the atrocities against minorities, Khaleda demands the government identify and punish the perpetrators through neutral investigation and compensate the victims.
The statement urged the media not to publish anything with prejudice or get confused with propaganda from a certain quarter.
Saying attempts were being made to destroy the existing religious harmony, Khaleda called for restraint.
She also said attacks on minorities were taking place at a time when people were waging movement against the governments fascism and indiscriminate killings across the country.
I called upon the administration and law enforcers to prevent such attacks on minorities with an iron fist, said Khaleda, also the leader of the opposition in the House
