The state minister for labour, Monnujan Sufian, on Tuesday referred to M Ilias Ali’s wife as a ‘widow’.
The state minister also claimed that Tahsina Rushdir Luna, wife of missing BNP leader, knew well who killed her husband.
Referring to Ilias Ali’s wife as a widow, Monnujan said, ‘I want to say that you (Luna) know in your heart who have really killed your husband.’
She was addressing a May Day programme at Osmani Memorial Hall auditorium in the capital, with
the prime minister, Sheikh Hasina, in the chair.
‘I know you cannot express what is in your heart..., you know well who abducted your husband, where he is now, alive or dead. I don’t know… Allah knows,’ she continued.
The state minister, however, trashed BNP’s allegation that the government was behind the disappearance of Ilias.
BNP’s organising secretary for Sylhet division M Ilias Ali, 51, also a former lawmaker from Sylhet, and his driver Ansar Ali went missing from the capital’s Banani area around midnight on April 17.
