Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina recently criticized the country’s opposition party – BNP – for running a campaign against Indian products. During a speech on Wednesday, Hasina said, “BNP leaders are advocating boycott of Indian products. My question is – how many Indian sarees do the wives of the boycott campaigners have? Why don’t they take sarees from their wives and burn them?”
