Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday said the Leader of the Opposition Khaleda Zia has no patriotism and responsibility to the country as she was not born in this land.
"How will she love the nation? She was not born here but in India," the PM told a blood donation programme arranged by Bangladesh Krishak League on the premises of Bangabandhu Memorial at Dhanmondi 32 in the capital as a part of Awami League's month-long programme marking the National Mourning Day, August 15.
On this day, in 1975, Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman along with almost all of his family members was killed.
"At first, Ziuar Rahman had rehabilitated the killers of Bangabandhu by providing them with jobs at various foreign missions. Then Ershad also tried to do the same and finally the present opposition leader after the February 15 farcical election made the killers even MPs," said Hasina, also the president of AL.
"You (Khaleda Zia) can try your best to save the war criminals. But you won't be successful in your mission," she added.
Coming down heavily on the opposition leader for her recent remarks on the charter, the PM said Khaleda Zia should have quit the opposition leader's position before she made such 'audacious' comment that the constitution would be thrown away once BNP returns to power.
Chaired by Krishak League president Mirza Abdul Jalil, the function was addressed, among others, by AL presidium member Agriculture Minister Matia Chowdhury and Food Minister Abdur Razzaque.
