Terming premeditated and politically motivated a Chattogram court’s verdict sentencing its Vice-chairman Giasuddin Quader Chowdhury to three years’ imprisonment, BNP yesterday said the criticism of the government has now considered as a crime. “Giasuddin Quader Chowdhury was awarded three years’ jail only for political reasons in a false and fabricated case. This verdict is pre-planned and politically motivated one,” said BNP senior joint secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi.

The criticism of the government is now regarded as a crime as the spirit of Nazi misrule has now descended on the Awami League government.”
