The court also ordered the ministries of Liberation War, home, information on Tuesday to ban and seize the other books where Oli distorted history of the 1971 war. Oli described Zia as the “first interim president of the country” in the interview as well. Petitioner Asif first sent a legal notice to Oli on Sept 7 asking him to withdraw his comments from the interview. Oli left the army and joined the BNP in 1978 after military strongman Zia formed the party. Oli and another former BNP leader, AQM Badruddoza Chowdhury, formed the LDP in 2006.
