He said, “We want to say the government and concerned ones, let’s stop mudslinging at each other and deal with the problem together.”Fakhrul said, “Myanmar government is carrying out attack on humanity. Talking to UNDP representative, we came to know that around one million Rohingyas have already entered into Bangladesh.”“The government had to make national unity engaging all political parties and professionals to face the terrible situation.
