Chief Adviser’s Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam has said Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal, former home minister of the fallen Sheikh Hasina government, is the butcher of Bangladesh.
“Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal was the butcher of Bangladesh. He is one of the butchers behind the brutal killing of children, students, workers and rickshaw-pullers in Bangladesh,” he told a press briefing at Foreign Service Academy in Dhaka on Sunday, replying to a question, BSS reports.
Alam questioned about the standard of media platforms carrying news items quoting him, saying no international media gives its space to a butcher.
Responding to another question, he said the interim government is taking all possible measures to bring back the money siphoned off during Sheikh Hasina’s reign.
The press secretary said about US$ 234 billion was laundered during the fallen regime.
Deputy Press Secretaries Apurba Jahangir and Abul Kalam Azad Majumder were present at the press briefing.
