BNP Standing Committee Member Dr. Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain on Saturday said, Chinese President Xi Jinping has given a clear message on his Bangladesh tour.
“Xi makes it clear that there is no elected government. So, he did not sit with so-called opposition leader. But he met with BNP Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia. He cleared Chinese policy on Bangladesh that they want to build friendship with the people of Bangladesh,” Dr. Mosharraf said. He said this while addressing a discussion at Dhaka Reporters’ Unity organised by Jatiyo Gonotantrik Party (JAGPA), an ally of BNP led 20-party alliance. JAGPA arranged the meeting on Xi Jinping’s visit to Bangladesh.
Dr. Mosharraf said, “The Chinese President said that his country wants to get Bangladesh beside it on the geo-political ground. It is also very significant that some quarters are trying to destabilise the sub-continent.”
JAGPA President Shafiul Alam Prodhan presided over the programme while General Secretary Khandaker Lutfar Rahman spoke on the occasion, among others.
Meanwhile, BNP Vice-Chairman Shamsuzzaman Dudu in another function in the city said that the government should not stand beside India over Kashmir issue and the decision to boycott SAARC summit was wrong.
He was addressing a meeting at the Jatiya Press Club arranged by an organisation named Jatiyotabadi Desh Banchao, Manush Banchao Andolon.
President of the organisation KM Rakibul Islam Ripon presided over the programme.
