Condemning the BNP-Jamaat alliance's 2001-06 regime, Prime Minister's ICT Adviser Sajeeb Wazed Joy has said the BNP-Jamaat's five-year misrule had pushed the country 50 years behind.
He made the remark in a post on his verified Facebook page on Thursday, reports BSS.

"The BNP-Jamaat alliance pushed the country 50 years behind. Is it reality or a mere political statement?" he questioned.
He said, “If people watch the video, the true incidents would come before them one by one.”
The ICT adviser said Bangladesh never witnessed such incidents of killing, murder, torture, occupation, factionalism, skyrocketing commodity price hike, looting, corruption and money laundering, the rise of militancy and grenade attacks took place during the BNP-Jamaat's five years regime.
He said BNP vice-chairman Tarique Rahman turned Hawa Bhaban into a parallel centre of state power and started an unofficial rule of giving bribes and percentages to him (Tarique).
Joy said, “BNP looted thousands of crores (billions) of Taka from the pockets of commoners by increasing the prices of essential items artificially through massive syndicates.”
