US State Department full of hypocrites: Joy

 
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's son and her information and communication technology (ICT) adviser Sajeeb Wazed Joy has said that the US State Department is full of hypocrites. Sajeeb Wazed Joy posted on his Facebook profile "US State legislature votes to expel two minority lawmakers, while keeping a third who was white. This is the state of democracy in the US. The US State Department are nothing but a bunch of hypocrites."

Tennessee's Republican-controlled House voted Thursday to expel Justin Jones and fellow lawmaker Justin Pearson, who are both African American, for speaking out of turn during a gun control protest in the House chamber the week prior.

Republican Gloria Johnson, another lawmaker too participated in the demonstration, faced an expulsion vote that ultimately failed.
Jones later vowed he would seek re-election for his Nashville seat, calling his removal an attack on democracy.

Republicans voted to expel Jones and his fellow Democratic colleague Pearson for leading a gun control protest on 30 March.
