BNP hatching new plots: Menon

Censuring BNP senior vice-chairman Tarique Rahman for his latest remark involving Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, Civil Aviation and Tourism Minister Rashed Khan Menon on Thursday said BNP has begun hatching new conspiracies conceding their political defeat. “The latest speech of Tarique Rahman is merely screams of an insane. The apparent objective behind the speech is to deny the history of Bangladesh,” Menon said while addressing the ninth conference of the district unit of Workers Party of Bangladesh (WPB) at Shaheed Haditch Park in Khulna city. For the same reasons, BNP chief Khaleda Zia made bad remarks about singing of the national anthem in unison by over 0.3 million Bangladeshis a few days back, Menon, also WPB president, said. Tarique Rahman at a meeting at Westminster Hall in London on Tuesday night said Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman became the prime minister in an illegal way in 1972, according to a news agency.
