Dhaka: BNP today said party Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir did not give any interview to foreign media recently. In a statement, the BNP claimed a baseless report was published in the Kolkata-based Bengali daily ‘Ei Somoy’ alleging that Mirza Fakhrul gave an interview with the newspaper.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, the statement highlighted that the interview, headlined “Fakhrul wants Awami League and Jatiya Party in election,” was published in the paper on Tuesday. The BNP described it as blatantly false and fabricated.
The party further contended that the fabricated interview was published with the intent to malign the image of the BNP and its secretary general. The statement, signed by BNP Assistant Office Secretary Advocate Taiful Islam Tipu, indicated that the purpose of the report was to create doubts and suspicions in the minds of the people of Bangladesh.
The BNP urged that there is no reason for the people of the country and the party activists to be misled by the false statements published in the foreign Bengali media outlet.
