BNP leader criticised over Lee Rigby tribute

It is a provocative action by Nick Griffin to go to the place where this young soldier was murdered. All Muslims have come out and condemned this act of violence.

Given the serene and sad atmosphere prevailing in the country, because of this person's death, he is being very cynical and exploiting the raw nerves for his benefit, and we say it is just and fair that there should be no politics over dead bodies.

Whoever is involved in this kind of activity needs to look very carefully at what that person is doing.

We need to be calm and deal with it in a mature and responsible manner.
