BNP founder Major Ziaur Rahman has worked for Pakistan during the Liberation War, Awami League Joint General Secretary Jahangir Kabir Nanak has said.
He made the claim in a press conference held at Awami League president’s office at Dhanmondi in the capital on Monday noon.
Showing a letter with Major Zia’s portrait, Nanak said: “General Beg of Pakistan sent this letter to Major Zia where he expressed his satisfaction over Zia’s role as ISI agent during the Liberation War of Bangladesh.”
This proved that he had been acting as a Pakistani agent in 1971, he added.
About the recent Khaleda Zia’s comment over election in Comilla, he said: “She talked about new change that means she wants new Hawa Bhaban from where she could do more terrorist act and corruption, and more violent politics.”
The LGRD minister alleged that Khaleda and the BNP leaders only could resist the development of the country.
“They try all the time to protect terrorists, corrupted people and war criminals.”
The next election will be held on time, he added.
