BNP lobbying foreign embassies to grab state power: Hanif

Awami League (AL) Joint General Secretary Mahbubul Alam Hanif alleged that BNP is persuading foreign countries to go to state power again.

"BNP's lobbying to foreigners would yield no result as people are the main force to bring a party to power," he said.

Hanif was addressing an iftar-distribution event organized by Paltan Thana uniit of AL on the occasion of the holy month of Ramadan at Paltan Community Center in the capital on Sunday.

The AL joint general secretary said that the corruption case against Khaleda Zia was started in 2012 and since then, BNP has been waging movement.

He called upon BNP men not to cause suffering to people in the name of movement.

"BNP-Jamaat will not be able to bring down the incumbent government by agitation. They (BNP) also knows this matter. And that is why they are running to foreigners now," he added.
