Inu denies allegation of threatening Khaleda

Rejecting the BNP leaders’ allegation that he has issued a life threat to the BNP chairperson, Information Minister Hasanul Haq Inu on Wednesday claimed that he had actually said to remove Khaleda Zia from politics instead of removing her from earth. “The allegation of BNP leaders that I’ve threatened to kill Khaleda Zia is not true. I didn’t say in my speech to kill her. I’d said people will remove the BNP chief if she doesn’t sever her ties with Hefajat, Jamaat and militancy, and shun destructive politics,” he said.  Talking to reporters at his Secretariat office, Inu came up with the explanation of his remarks about Khaleda Zia he had made on last Friday at a programme of the Hindu Community at Shamibagh in the city, according to a news agency.
