BNP senior leader Rafiqul Islam Miah alleged Monday that President Md Abdul Hamid through his remarks about the January-5 polls in his recent meeting with UN secretary general Ban Ki-moon has proved that he is representing only Awami League (AL) instead of the country's people, reports UNB.
"The President has represented Awami League, not the country's people, in the United Nations (UN) as he told its secretary general that the people of Bangladesh have accepted the January-5 election. His remark has proved that the President's existence ends up in Awami League," he said.
Rafiqul, also a BNP standing committee member, was addressing a roundtable titled 'Historical Palashi Tragedy: Today's Bangladesh' arranged by Jatiyatabadi Desh Bachao Manush Bachao Andolon at Dhaka Reporters Unity in the city.
He said Ban Ki-moon did not believe President Abdul Hamid's statement as he suggested him to arrange a discussion with the political parties now out of parliament.
