Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has described the propaganda using false pictures by Myanmar military against Rohingyas as ‘disgusting’.
“What Myanmar is doing is disgusting,” she said. “They are ruining their own reputation. They are diminishing their position on the world stage.”
The Prime Minister said this while addressing a press conference at her official residence Ganabhaban on Sunday, report bdnews24.com, UNB.
Sheikh Hasina also said the government has nothing to do with BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia's release.
"The government has nothing to do with it...she (Khaleda) has either to go to court or seek clemency from the President," Hasina said replying to a question over BNP's demand for Khaleda's release.
