Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has directed not to file any case or lawsuits against Priya Saha, who complained of minority oppression in Bangladesh to US President Donald Trump, Transport Minister Obaidul Quader has said.
“The reasons for making such allegations should be investigated. I think she should be given a chance to defend herself when she returns home,” Quader told the media after attending the license handover ceremony of MRT Line 6 at Bangabandhu International Convention Centre.
He said: “She should make a public statement and her motive should be investigated.”
Meanwhile, several people, including lawyers, have moved the court seeking permission to file sedition cases against her in various districts across the country.
Priya claimed that 37 million Hindus, Buddhists and Christians had disappeared from Bangladesh and that her home was torched and her land was grabbed by Muslim fundamentalists.
