UNB, Dhaka :
BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Sunday alleged that the government is spreading false and cooked up stories about their chairperson’s London tour only to mislead people and divert their attention from the country’s political crisis.
Speaking at a press conference at the party’s Nayapaltan central office, he also asked the media to refrain from making news with false and fabricated information.
“It’s known to all that our chairperson Khaleda Zia has gone to London for
her medical treatment and meeting her family members. She’ll return home once her treatment is completed. Unfortunately, the ruling party leaders and ministers have started carrying out a false campaign over the tour from the very beginning,” the BNP leader said.
Soon after Khaleda had been to the UK, he said the ruling party leaders started saying she fled the country in fear of facing cases filed against her. “Such comments from the highest level of the government on a sub-judice matter put obstacle to get justice. Because, in our culture, the administrative officials consider the head of the government’s every word as an order for them and they act as per it.”
Fakhrul said, the Awami League leaders are now talking about a ‘so-called meeting with Pakistani intelligence agency Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and Jamaat leaders in London as part of a plot.
He alleged that an online news portal and some newspapers published a false and imaginary story of conspiracy making an artificial picture of such a meeting. “We’ve sent a rejoinder protesting the news and it was published in those newspapers.”
The BNP leader further said, “The government is trying to divert people’s attention from the upcoming election, supportive government and restoration of democracy by creating a smoke screen with such fabricated news. We would like to tell the Awami League leaders and journalists not to try to misled people about the country’s political crisis.”
Fakhrul said, the ruling party leaders as per their old habit can carry out false campaign against the BNP chief.
