Awami League joint general secretary and Information Minister Dr. Hasan Mahmud on Friday said BNP has constantly picked the way of conspiracy after consistently neglecting to confront Bangabandhu’s daughter Sheik Hasina and AL politically.
Their (BNP) intimacy with Pakistani intelligence ISI and their men is very old, he added.
This has been demonstrated that the recent meeting in the Middle East between the Pakistani intelligence and BNP-Jamaat alliance is exceptionally disgraceful, he added.
“You all know that Pakistani intelligence agency has given Tk 5 crore to BNP before the election in 1991”, he said.
This statement was corroborated by a former top boss of a Pakistani intelligence agency before the court, Hasan said. “So they are making conspiracies continuously to destabilize the country. Still, three and a half years are left for the next general elections,” he added.
The Information Minister said these after speaking as chief guest at a seminar on “Mohammad Abdul Khaleq Engineer, Daily Azadi and Democracy” held at Chattogram Circuit House as reporters questioned him about the recent secret meeting between the Pakistani intelligence agency ISI and the BNP-Jamaat in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
The Information Minister said, “In fact, when the world is stagnant by the coronavirus, people are worried about their future, at that time, BNP is holding conspiratorial meetings at home and abroad without standing beside the people.”
Hasan said the BNP has now realized their failure to go ahead lied in sticking to conspiracies in the past. Otherwise, the people would not have put Bangladesh Awami League in power three times in a row, he added.
“So, I would request the BNP to stand beside the people by shunning the path of conspiracy,” he added.
