BNP has submitted a letter to the United Nations on for an international investigation into the "genocide" committed by the ousted Sheikh Hasina government during the student-led mass movement.
Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury, a member of the BNP Standing Committee, handed over the letter to the UN Resident Coordinator in Bangladesh, Gwyn Lewis, at her Gulshan office on Tuesday.
Later, talking to reporters, he said BNP requested the UN to unearth the full extent of the incidents of the massacre and killings perpetrated against Bangladeshi citizens under the ‘illegal’ Awami League government through an impartial and transparent investigation that adheres to international standards.
Chowdhury said the letter would be forwarded to the UN headquarters from the UN Resident Coordinator’s office.
