Chittagong Bureau :
Information Minister and Publicity and Publication Secretary of Bangladesh Awami League Dr Hasan Mahmud on Wednesday said the politics of BNP boils down to complaints to foreigners instead of to the people of Bangladesh.
“The frequent solicitation against the county and appeal to foreign diplomats is nothing but tantamount to dishonoring the people,”
The Minister told journalists after inaugurating the first phase of Bangladesh-India Nazrul Conference -2019 at Zilla Shilpakola academy on Wednesday evening in Chattogram. The Minister said honorable court has cancelled the bail petition of Barrister Moinul Hossain and the matter is completely under judicial jurisdiction but definitely not political.
“Moinul Hossain has been sued on charges of harassment of a female journalist but BNP leaders complained about the issue to foreigners,” Hasan said.
The information minister accused Gono Forum leader Dr Kamal Hossain who is also an eminent lawyer of being engaged in similar activities instead of resorting to the courts. He termed the incidents as regrettable saying this exposed their political bankruptcy.
Speaking about Begum Zia’s imprisonment Dr Hasan Mahmud said she was also convicted by the court and was not arrested on any political ground and she had the privilege of having a domestic help inside prison which is unprecedented in the history of the subcontinent.
