She said militants such as Shaykh Abdur Rahman and Siddiqul Islam alias Bangla Bhai as well as other terrorist groups had received state patronage at that time.
Hasina also said that BNP-Jamaat backed terrorists had killed principal Gopal Krishna Muhuri in his house.
The Prime Minister recalled the grenade attack on her in 2004 and a series of bomb blasts across the country in 2005.
Hasina said that the BNP-Jamaat government had killed many innocent people in guise of Operation Clean Heart.
She accused the BNP-Jamaat government, which was in power for five years, and an army-backed caretaker regime that stayed on for two years, of having killed thousands of Awami League leaders, activists and supporters.
She mentioned the present Home Minister, MK Alamgir, and Awami League leader AFM Bahauddin Nasim as victims of brutal torture.
She said that people of the country had not forgotten the misrule and oppression unleashed by the BNP-Jamaat terrorist groups before and after 2001.
