Hasib made the comments on private television channel DBC's "Projotone Bangladesh" talk show, released on their YouTube channel on 26 October.
Responding to a question, Hasib had said, "All revolutions in history have taken place outside of the constitution or the law. If the metro had not been set on fire, or if the police had not been attacked, then the revolution would not have been achieved so easily. The fall of fascism could not have been ensured."
