He recently asked his wife about the saree and learned that it was stitched with kantha, which was also torn, he said.
The previous day, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina condemned the BNP's call to boycott Indian products and questioned their silence when it came to Indian sarees in their wives' wardrobe.
“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?” she said on Wednesday.
