DHAKA, April 9, 2023 (BSS) - Awami League (AL) Joint General Secretary Mahbubul Alam Hanif today said BNP is persuading foreign countries to go to power.

 "BNP's lobbying to foreigners would yield no result as people are the main force to bring a party to power," he said these during an iftar-distribution event organized by Paltan Thana uniit of AL on the occasion of the holy month of Ramadan at Paltan Community Center in the capital.

The AL joint general secretary said that the corruption case against Khaleda Zia was started in 2012 and since then, BNP has been waging movement.

He called upon BNP men not to cause suffering to people in the name of movement.

"BNP-Jamaat will not be able to bring down the incumbent government by agitation. They (BNP) also knows this matter. And that is why they are running to foreigners now," he added.

With Former President of Paltan Thana unit of AL and Ward Number-13 Councilor Enamul Haque Abul in the chair, the event was addressed, among others, by Dhaka South City AL president Abu Ahmed Mannafi and its general secretary Humayun Kabir.
