Hasan: German envoy's anger proves BNP's lies to foreigners

Information and Broadcasting Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud on Saturday said BNP often gave statements quoting foreigners, of which (statements) most are false and fabricated, and it was proved at the German ambassador's statements.

"The recent anger of German ambassador has proved that BNP spread falsehood to the foreigners and do ill politics with them," he told reporters before attending an Iftar Mahfil at RB Convention Center in Chittagong.

The minister said an ambassador had expressed anger openly against the statements of a political party and such an incident had never occurred before in the country.

BNP held a meeting with the German ambassador and the party had divulged the statements of the ambassador in front of the media making distortion, he added.

"For this, the German ambassador has expressed anger," said Hasan, Awami League joint general secretary.

He said: "BNP does not do politics for the people. But they always go to foreigners and write letters to them (foreigners) to stop assistance to Bangladesh. Even, BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam wrote letter to the congressmen of the US to stop assistance to Bangladesh."

The minister said he (Mirza Fakhrul) was a champion in making lies and the incident of the Newmarket proved that they (BNP) wanted to create instability by capitalizing any anarchy.
