AL wants conflicts to implicate BNP men ahead of election: Fakhrul
BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has accused the ruling Awami League of deliberately instigating conflicts in the country to sideline BNP members before the upcoming national election by falsely implicating them in various cases.
During a press conference held at the BNP chairperson's office in Gulshan on Thursday, Mirza Fakhrul alleged that despite members of the Chhatra League attacking BNP men en route to a youth rally in Chattogram, it was the BNP members who were arrested by the police.
Expressing his astonishment, the BNP leader stated, "The Awami League themselves attack us and file cases against us."

In addition, Mirza Fakhrul condemned the terrorist and arson attack on the residences of BNP Joint Secretary Khairul Kabir Khokon in Narsingdi.
