Yesterday, the five NCP leaders hit headlines by vacationing in Cox's Bazar, avoiding the July Declaration ceremony in the capital's Manik Mia Avenue.
There were rumours that the five held a meeting with former US ambassador to Bangladesh, Peter Haas, in Cox's Bazar.
The group, however, denied the claim.
Speaking to The Business Standard yesterday, Nasiruddin said, "The news circulating in the media about us having a meeting with Peter Haas is a rumour and baseless."
He told the media that it was a "personal visit".
