Hasan urges BNP to go to countrymen instead of visiting foreigners

Information and Broadcasting Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud Wednesday urged the BNP leaders to go to the countrymen instead of visiting foreigners, reports BSS.
"We see that BNP always visits foreigners including foreign ambassadors and different foreign organizations. But, the countrymen are the owner of the state and they are the owners of power. They will elect the public representatives. Ambassadors or representatives of foreign organisations have no rights to vote for anyone in this country," he said.
The minister stated these while replying to a query of reporters at the meeting room of his ministry at Secretariat in the capital.
Hasan said it is also not appropriate to interfere in the internal issues of the country by the foreigners. But, BNP has always tried that the foreigners could interfere in the country's internal matter, which is similar to undermining the image of the state, he added.
"I would like to urge the BNP to go to the countrymen instead of visiting the foreigners. And that will be better for the BNP," said Hasan, also Awami League joint general secretary.
