Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal on Saturday said the government itself was looking for 35 people who were on the missing list of human rights organisations.
"We are looking for 35 people, who are involved in arson attacks," he said this while speaking as the chief guest at a seminar at Poet Sufia Kamal Auditorium of the National Museum here.
Bangladesh Mahila Oikya Parishad organised the seminar on 'Socio-economic status and security of religious minority women in Bangabandhu's Sonar Bengal: Vision 2041' with its president Supria Bhattacharya in the chair, reports BSS.
Food Minister Sadhan Chandra Majumdar inaugurated the seminar, while lawmaker Suborna Mustafa and journalist Munni Saha spoke at the seminar.
The minister said, "There are thousands of people talking about the disappearance. Then I said to give me the list. Then a list of 76 people was given to me. Later it was found that 10 of them are BNP activists, who are staying at different places. And we are looking for 35 people too, who were involved in arson attacks. Another person was seen in jail."
Stating that there is no such thing as a minority in the country, he said that Bangabandhu spoke about the non-communal Bangladesh, adding, "So, here we are all Bangalis, we are moving forward with that spirit."
