UNB, Dhaka :
Commerce Minister Tofail Ahmed on Monday said the BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia’s statement regarding BNP’s relationship with India was “false, baseless and groundless.”
The Minister said BNP is “an anti-Indian party” and that the party was born for making contradictory statement against the neighbouring country and doing politics in the name of religion.
The Minister came up with the remarks while talking to reporters at his office on Monday.
“Being caught up in a pledge that BNP would not contradict India, the BNP Chairperson surrendered to the Indian government
and met the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi with a commitment to not oppose India,” said the Minister.
The Minister said that Indian separatists had been given shelter by the BNP in Sylhet forests and Chittagong during the tenure of the BNP government. “Not only that, Khaleda is a patron of Harkat-ul-Jihad and other militant organizations,” he said.
Besides, the 10-truck arms haul had been recovered during the tenure of the then BNP-led government, and several trucks of arms had been delivered to the Indian separatists, said the Minister.
