Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today said BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia
is conspiring from abroad to destabilise the country through killing
foreigners living in Bangladesh.
The Prime Minister said this when newly elected office-bearers of
Chittagong, Barisal, Rangpur, Gopalganj and Gazipur Bar Associations met
her at her official residence Gono Bhaban.
Hasina, also the Awami League chief, said Khaleda killed people in
the name of agitation programme when she was in the country. "Now
staying abroad, she is killing foreign nationals to create panic among
them for tainting the country’s image."
She said Khaleda has changed her agitation programme plan. "What’s
their new technique? BNP-Jamaat clique engaged lobbyists in various
countries, including the European ones, the UK and the US to spread
negative propaganda against the country," Hasina added.
The Prime Minister urged people to stay alert against Khaleda’s this
conspiracy to destabilise the country through killing foreign nations.
Hasina said whenever the country was heading towards development and
reached to a dignified position in the world the, the BNP-Jamaat nexus
started burning from inside.
"They put in their all-out efforts to tarnish the country’s image and
for that they killed people and do whatever needed to materialise their
plot," she said seeking the cooperation of all in foiling the evil
design.
