Dhaka, December 15: US Ambassador Peter D Haas visited the residence of Sajedul Islam Sumon, the leader of BNP in Dhaka Metropolis South, who went missing in 2013. General Secretary of Awami League and Minister of Road Transport and Bridges Obaidul Quader criticized this action of the US ambassador.

He said, "Mr. Peter Haas, today I would have liked the picture of you going to the Martyr Intellectual Memorial. But he went to Suman's house. I ask him, how many people go missing in the United States every month, but we see the picture on CNN. How many rapes happen? We have also seen the victims. We have also seen the picture of how many people are killed."

He made the point in the opening speech of the discussion meeting organized by Awami League at Bangabandhu International Conference Center on the occasion of Martyrs Intellectual Day.

Obaidul Quader said, "US Ambassador Peter Haas went to Sajjadul Sumon's house early today on Intellectual Day. He went missing in 2013. He went to his house."

Regarding the allegations of disappearance of Hefazat leaders and activists, the general secretary of Awami League said, "It is said that Sheikh Hasina's government has disappeared and killed 67 people. Later, journalists investigated and found that most of them were studying in madrasas. They took pictures of them in that condition. Today these are the 67 people. Are they missing?"

He said, "I want to remind those who talk about missing, I will say Farhad Mazhar Sahib is missing. After a few hours, he was seen on the bus towards Khulna. He left by himself, is it missing? There are many such cases."

Obaidul Quader said, "Cases have been filed, murder cases, drug cases - now he has disappeared himself. BNP has many such workers. He is missing to escape the case. How many allegations are against Salahuddin of Chakaria. Salahuddin disappeared. He himself went to India. You should know about these disappearances, Mr. Peter Haas."
