UNB, Dhaka :
BNP on Friday alleged that the government has filed a sedition case against its joint secretary general Aslam
Chowdhury by inventing a ‘conspiracy theory’. “The sedition case was filed against Aslam Chowdhury through inventing a conspiracy theory of politics. The government has sued Aslam, but it couldn’t register any protest with friendly country India which took Israeli Likud Party leader Mendi N Safadi to that country,” he said.
Speaking at a discussion, the BNP leader strongly protested and condemned
the filing of the treason case against the party joint secretary general. Swadhinata Forum, a pro-BNP platform, arranged the programme at the Jatiya Press Club, marking BNP Founder Ziaur Rahman’s 35th death anniversary.
Earlier on Thursday night, Aslam Chowdhury was charged with treason over an anti-government plot with Israel’s intelligence agency Mossad to oust the Awami League-led government. Detective Branch (DB) of Dhaka Metropolitan Police Inspector Golam Rabbani filed the sedition case with Gulshan Police Station after getting clearance from the Home Ministry.
On May 15, plainclothes police arrested Aslam Chowdhury from the capital city for his alleged involvement in an anti-state plot. According to media reports, the BNP leader was allegedly involved in a plot to topple the Awami League-led government by joining hands with Israeli secret service Mossad in New Delhi.
Aslam met Israeli Likud Party leader Mendi N Safadi during his recent India visit. But before his arrest, Aslam denied any conspiracy against the government although he admitted to meeting Safadi in a tea party in India. Rizvi said, Aslam Chowdhury went to at different times for his business purposes as he is a businessman alongside a politician. He said the Indian organisation which invited Mendi N Safadi to India has given a statement saying Safadi is not an agent of Mossad rather he is a think-tank and a scholar.
The organisation also said they earlier frequently invited Safadi to their many programmes in India, the BNP leader said adding, “Why did India as a friendly country allow Safadi to visit India repeatedly if Safadi is plotting against Bangladesh government?”
He said, Safadi also made it clear that he had only discussed with Aslam Bangladesh’s politics during their meeting at the programme. Mentioning that the country’s people do
not believe that Aslam Chowdhury conspired against the government sitting on Indian soil, Rizvi said the government has filed the case with a political motive.
