He said after the brutal assassination of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and most of his family members, Indemnity Ordinance was issued to protect the killers and the history of the liberation war were distorted completely.

AL leaders and workers were killed across the country, he mentioned.

Pointing to BNP, he said those who don't practice democracy how will they establish it in the country.
