DHAKA, Dec 9, 2018 (BSS) – Awami League Joint General Secretary Abdur
Rahman today said BNP acting chairman Tarique Rahman held meeting with
Pakistani intelligence agency ISI in London as he is hatching conspiracy to
thwart the upcoming national elections.
BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir also held meeting at
Pakistani high commission in Dhaka, Rahman said.
The Awami League leader also said BNP has turned into a corporate party
with nomination trade regarding the upcoming general polls.
“BNP is no longer a political party as it has become a corporate party by
doing widespread nomination trade centring the upcoming general polls. The
destruction which they carried out at BNP’s Gulshan office over nomination
trade is a matter of embarrassment for me as a politician,” he said.
Rahman came up with the observations while addressing a press briefing
held at Awami League president’s Dhanmandi political office this afternoon.
Awami League Joint General Secretary Jahangir Kabir Nanak, organising
secretaries Ahmed Hossain, AFM Bahauddin Nasim, BM Mozammel Haque, Khalid
Mahmud Chowdhury, Relief and Social Welfare Secretary Sujit Roy Nandi,
Information and Research Secretary Adv. Afzal Hossain, Education and Human
Resource Affairs Secretary Shamsunnahar Chapa, Health and Population Affairs
Secretary Dr Rokeya Sultana and Deputy Office Secretary Barrister Biplab
Barua, were present on the occasion, among others.
“BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir and joint secretary
general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi Ahmed are the main perpetrators behind its
nomination trade. They are carrying out the trade following orders of party’s
acting chairman Tarique Rahman. BNP leaders are to blame themselves for their
downfall,” Rahman added.
Replying to a question on distribution of seats with Jatiya Party, the
Awami League joint general secretary said all disagreements with the ally
would be resolved soon.
