BNP standing committee member Lt General (retd) Mahbubur Rahman said that the government was not evaluating properly the contribution of the country’s legendary leader Moulana Abdul Hamid Khan Bhasani.
Addressing a discussion on Saturday, he alleged that the present government was hatching conspiracy to delete the name of the great leader from history. The nation won’t accept it, he said.
He also said that the country was now passing through a crisis moment due to corrupt politics, misrule and misdeeds of the present government. The rights of the people are snatched through the January-5 ‘one-sided’ election. The government will have to pay for this, he added.
