Khaleda
Zia calls for sheltering Rohingyas
BNP
Chairperson Khaleda Zia today called upon the government to provide shelter to
the repressed and oppressed Rohingya people of Myanmar on humanitarian ground.
The former
prime minister, in a statement issued this afternoon, also urged the other
countries and Muslim world to stand beside the people on the same reason.
“I am
calling upon all humanitarian states, specially the Muslim world, United
Nations, Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and other international
organisations to come forward to compel the Myanmar government to establish
peace and stop the persecution of Rohingyas,” Khaleda said.
Khaleda also
held Aung San Suu Kyi led government responsible for the “barbaric repression”
on the Rohingya people and termed her as “mastermind of genocide”.
“It is a
matter of great regret that no military ruler is responsible for the
atrocities, but a Nobel peace prize laureate. We are stunned as how she (Suu
Kyi) recognises such massacre after being repressed for long,” Khaleda said.
Khaleda Zia
also asked the Myanmar government to stop the genocide immediately so that no
Rohingya people are victimised.
