Law Adviser Dr Asif Nazrul on Monday strongly criticised former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s 15-year rule, claiming that she even lacked a proper understanding of the concept of the State.
“People were denied their right to vote, yet she confidently repeated lies,” he said.
Speaking as the chief guest at a seminar titled ‘July Uprising Day 2025’ organised by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at the Foreign Service Academy, Dr Nazrul emphasised the importance of state reform as a means of honouring the sacrifices of those who fought for changes.
“True respect for those who gave their lives, were injured, or live in hardship can only be shown if we take Bangladesh to a better place through state reforms,” he said.
Foreign Affairs Adviser Md Touhid Hossain, Foreign Secretary Asad Alam Siam, Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Dr. Md. Nazrul Islam, and Director General (Public Diplomacy) Shah Asif Rahman also spoke at the event.
