BBC Interview: PM ‘lied' about polls, enforced disappearances
The BNP yesterday alleged that Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina during her interview with BBC lied about the enforced disappearance and election.
Speaking at a rally in the capital's Mohakhali, senior BNP leader Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury said, "The prime minister in her interview with BBC said fair elections take place under the Awami League government. Will any Bangladeshi believe the statement? Do you believe it? Do the ruling party men even believe it?"
The BNP standing committee member said the PM should have realised why and when a foreign prime minister was asked such questions during an interview. "Will the prime minister of Nepal or the UK be asked such questions?"
The BNP's Dhaka north city unit organised the rally protesting the recent attacks on party programmes in the capital and demanding release of the arrested opposition leaders and activists.
Khasru alleged that the premier also lied about enforced disappearances.
