"Mirza Fakhrul wrote to US politicians several times since 2015"

Prime Minister’s ICT Affairs Adviser Sajeeb Wazed Joy on Friday shared a video detailing BNP-Jamaat's "anti-Bangladesh activities" with the help of lobbyists in the United States (US).

"The BNP-Jamaat alliance had appointed eight firms to lobby with the United States against providing aid and development assistance to Bangladesh," wrote Joy, also the son of the prime minister, while sharing the video from his verified Facebook page.

Joy mentioned that the BNP-Jamaat did the same thing before, as BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia wrote an article in Washington Times in 2013 seeking US intervention in Bangladesh and hindering GSP facilities for RMG products. 

"From 2015, BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir wrote a series of letters to US policymakers and politicians to stop different development facilities provided by the USA to Bangladesh," Joy said.

To know know regarding this matter, Joy encouraged people across the country to watch the video titled “BNP's Lobbying in the US: A glimpse of anti-Bangladesh activities with hired lobby shops” and sought comments on that.
