'BNP-Jamaat wants to make country a failed state'

Awami League (AL) Joint General Secretary AFM Bahauddin Nasim on Sunday said the BNP-Jamaat wants to establish Bangladesh as a dysfunctional state for their own political gain, reports BSS.

"Through nine months of great Liberation War, we achieved an independent Bangladesh. The BNP-Jamaat wants to establish it as a dysfunctional state to reap their political purpose," he said.

He came up with the remarks while addressing a discussion organized by the Ministry of Liberation War Affairs at Sheikh Hasina Mancha at Mujibnagar in Meherpur district as the chief guest marking the historic Mujibnagar Day.

Bahauddin Nasim further said, "BNP-Jamaat cannot tolerate the development and progress of Bangladesh. They are engaged in spreading propaganda and lying to create anarchy and instability to make Bangladesh down."

Spreading lies about Sri Lanka are part of their conspiracies, he added.
