Dhaka, Sep 22 9bdnews24.com) — The law minister's wrong answer to a question in parliament has seen the deputy speaker requesting that it be asked again.
In a written answer Shafique Ahmed told the parliament that 43 members of the Awami League, the current ruling party, had been found involved with anti liberation activities during the Independence War of 1971.
