Senior treasury bench member Sheikh Fazlul Karim Selim on Thursday harshly criticized the US for what he said imposing sanctions on eight former and current officials of the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) “intentionally” without any evidence. Selim said the BNP, founded by Ziaur Rahman comprising the anti-liberation and the defeated force of 1971, cannot accept Bangladesh in any way even after 50 years of its independence. The US has imposed sanctions intentionally on the eight officials of Bangladesh’s smart law enforcement agency RAB, but it (US) can’t show any evidence,” he said. He recalled the US role in favour of Pakistanis who carried out the mass killing in Bangladesh in 1971. He said the BNP leaders have become very cheerful following the US sanctions on the RAB officials.
