He was speaking at a discussion in Dhaka on Friday, a day after his visit to the refugee camp in Cox's Bazar.
"They are in unimaginable misery. They have no roof overhead; a mother is trying to save her five to 10 days old child from rain with only a plastic sheet...such cruelty...," Fakhrul started weeping at this point of his speech.
He then pulled himself together and said, "I am sorry! I become emotional sometimes; maybe because I have not become a politician fully."
Mirza Fakhrul had wept during his speech earlier while describing the condition of BNP leaders and activists in two programmes - one in his home district Thakurgaon in July and another in Dhaka in August last year.
At Friday's programme at the Institution of Engineers, Bangladesh in Dhaka, he renewed the allegation that the government is not speaking strongly against Myanmar over the Rohingya crisis.
He criticised China, Russia and India for supporting Myanmar and urged Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to tour the three countries in an attempt to convince them to take a stand against Myanmar.
