Referring to BNP's rivals, including Jamaat, Fakhrul said Jamaat is a very strategic party and often engages in propaganda using religion.
"They are trying to spread disinformation through various campaigns."
BNP believes in positive and constructive politics and never underestimates its opponents, regardless of who they are, he added.
