He claimed that followers of the Jessore 6 lawmaker, being jealous of the upazila vice-chairman’s popularity and public support, have continued spreading misleading information in various places including different social media platforms.
Despite repeated attempts, this correspondent could not get a hold of the lawmaker for comment regarding the allegations.
However, speaking to Dhaka Tribune, Mahmud Hossain Bipu, general secretary of the city unit of Jessore Awami League, also a known aide of MP Chaklader, said: “Does Bipul have any documents to support his claims?
“Bringing such baseless allegations against an MP is defamatory.
