The photos are all of the activisits of BNP, which has aligned itself with the Jamaat-e-Islami, the party which gave birth to the Rajakars in 1971. Where are the photographs of the secular nationalist youths in Shahbag who do want the death penalty for the war criminals? Of the innocent Hindus whose houses and temples have been burnt by the Jamaat and BNP activists?
