Information Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud on Saturday said investigate is needed to find out whether the incident of recovering petrol bomb-like substance from Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) is involvement with BNP’s plan of transferring Khaleda Zia to United Hospital.
“They (BNP) always demand Khaleda Zia’s treatment at United Hospital or any other private hospital… it is needed to find out whether the incident of recovering petrol bomb-like substance from BSMMU is connected with the plan,” the minister told journalists at a briefing at his Chattogram residence on Saturday afternoon.
On Thursday, police recovered a “bomb-like object” from in front of register’s office at the second floor of the BSMMU’s administrative building in the capital.
BNP leader Ruhul Kabir Rizvi claimed that there is a ‘blue print of high command’ behind the incident as the party’s Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia is undergoing treatment at another building of the hospital.
Replying a query from a journalist about Rizvi’s remarks over the incident, Dr Hasan said, “Those, who act with patrol bomb, could say well about this. BNP is well familiar with patrol bomb. They killed hundreds of people by hurling patrol bombs and destroyed the country’s wealth worth of Taka thousands crore”.
