BNP leaders' falsehood over Khaleda's cases not acceptable, says Hanif

KUSHTIA, June 28 (BSS): Awami League Joint General Secretary Mahbubul Alam Hanif has said the falsehood spread by BNP leaders over the cases of Khaleda Zia is not acceptable, reports BSS.

"BNP leaders are claiming that the government has detained Khaleda Zia by lodging false cases against her, which is not acceptable at all," said Hanif.

Terming it as a part of extreme falsehood by the BNP, he said the ruling Awami League government did not file the cases against the BNP chief, rather the cases were filed by the caretaker government.

The court sentenced her as the BNP lawyers have failed to prove her [Khaleda Zia] not guilty.

The ruling party leader made the comments while responding to a query made by journalists at his PTI road residence in Kushtia on Friday.

About the railway connectivity between Bangladesh and India, Hanif said many countries across the world have such connectivity and it is nothing new, adding, "Modernisation and development of communication systems are the main driving force for the economic development of a country."

"The criticism of the BNP leaders regarding rail connectivity will not bring any benefit to the country," he added.
