Fakhrul blasts Shajahan
BNP Acting Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir yesterday termed "rubbish" the recent remarks of Shipping Minister Shajahan Khan that senior BNP leader Rafiqul Islam Miah was a razakar.
“I found no words to criticise him [Shajahan Khan]. Rafiqul Islam Miah was involved in anti-Ayub movement during his student life. He [Rafiqul] was in London during the country's Liberation War in 1971 where he acted as an organiser of the war,” he told a press conference at BNP's Nayapaltan head office in the capital.
Shajahan's remarks came about two weeks after he exchanged abuses with Rafiqul on a live television talk-show on October 22.
At the press conference, Fakhrul also blasted some recent media reports that 17 bugging devices had recently been recovered from the Gulshan office of BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia.
“Such media reports were nothing but a conspiracy of government's intelligence agency. Such conspiracy was part of government's ill motive to tarnish BNP's image when the party was gaining people's support,” he said.
