Information Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud on Thursday said BNP is now vocal on sculpture issue as they failed to face the government politically.
“There are many sculptures in Saudi Arabia, Iran and other Muslim states. The next generation of those who are against the freedom fighters and gave fotwa to them as ‘kafer’, are now giving statements against sculptures,” he said.

connection between the two sides has been established, he added.
