When the BNP complains about corruption, even donkeys laugh at them, Information and Broadcasting Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud commented on Tuesday.
“BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia and the acting chairman have been punished for corruption and money laundering. The FBI came to Bangladesh and testified against Tarique Rahman,” he said.
"So when the BNP complains about corruption, even donkeys laugh at them," he remarked while speaking at a Chittagong City Corporation event.
“My question is who made Bangladesh a five-time champion in corruption? The answer is the BNP,” he continued.
Hasan Mahmud, the Awami League's joint general secretary, mentioned fires on school grounds in several districts in 2014.
He said: “The BNP carried out arson attacks at 500 schools and destroyed new books. The BNP did this in the name of resisting the election.”
“Prices of commodities increased due to the Ukraine war and the Covid pandemic,” he said in response to the BNP's secretary general's speech on commodity price hikes.
“Inflation is 8% in our country, which is much lower than in other countries,” he added.
Chittagong City Corporation Mayor Rezaul Karim Chowdhury presided over the event, and Suborna Mustafa MP was present there as the special guest.
