UNB, Dhaka :
BNP on Thursday dismissed Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s allegation that its senior vice chairman Tarique Rahman wanted to block her niece’s victory in the UK polls terming it absurd and illogical.
“The Prime Minister told Parliament that Tarique Rahman tried to block Tulip’s victory in the UK polls. Her allegation is absurd and it has no practical basis,” said BNP spokesman Asaduzzaman Ripon.
Addressing a press briefing at the party’s Nayapaltan central office, he said there is no reason for Tarique to interfere in Britain’s internal politics. “We think the UK chapter of Awami League has given
the Prime Minister and the AL chief false information about it just to appease her.”
Earlier on Tuesday, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina accused BNP Tarique Rahman of trying his best to block Tulip Siddiq’s victory in the UK polls. “You know, Khaleda Zia’s son (Tarique) taking political asylum (in the UK) tried his best to block Tulip’s win (in UK elections).
