Hanif: BNP spreading lies against government

Awami League (AL) Joint General Secretary Mahbubul Alam Hanif on Wednesday said BNP has been spreading lies against the government through holding rallies in front of the National Press Club every day.

"BNP leaders are also telling lies about the government and its activities in TV talk shows every day to mislead the people," he said.

Hanif said this while talking to journalists before joining a meeting of party leaders of the Chittagong division and Chandpur district at the AL's Bangabandhu Avenue central office in Dhaka.

He said Bangladesh is moving forward under the dynamic leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and the per capita income of the people has increased and the country's overall exports are on a rising trend.

After the killing of Bangabandhu, BNP founder Ziaur Rahman tried to make Bangladesh a province of Pakistan and at that time, they not only banned the slogan of Liberation War ‘Joy Bangla’ but also forbade the historic March 7 speech of Bangabandhu.

BNP that always practices evil politics is now looking for an issue to attain its evil purposes, he said, adding that AL leaders-activists will have to build resistance against conspiracies and ill politics of BNP.

He criticized BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir for spreading confusion about the newly formed Election Commission (EC) and urged the countrymen not to be confused with the negative propaganda of BNP against the EC.
