BNP trashes PM’s remarks over Khaleda’s Shaheed Minar wreath placing

BNP yesterday dismissed the Prime Minister’s allegation that its chairperson Khaleda Zia has destroyed the dignity of the Shaheed Dibosh by stepping onto the prohibited main altar at the Central Shaheed Minar, saying Sheikh Hasina has spread ‘lies’ over the matter, reports UNB.
“The Prime Minister  on Wednesday said the BNP chief has placed a wreath at the Shaheed Minar steeping onto the main platform where one cannot step on. We would like to say it’s a blatant lie,” said BNP senior joint secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi. He came up with the remarks while talking to reporters at a press conference at BNP’s Nayapaltan central office.
Showing reporters some photographs, the BNP leader said Khaleda placed the wreath standing on the same place from where Dhaka University teachers, journalists, police, common people and different organisations did it. “It has clearly exposed the Prime Minister doesn’t speak the truth.”
On Wednesday, Sheikh Hasina sharply criticised Khaleda and its top leaders for stepping on the main altar of the Central Shaheed Minar on February 21 for paying tributes to the Language Movement heroes.
“They (BNP chief and its leaders) have destroyed Amar Ekushey’s dignity through stepping on the altar...through this ‘nonsense’ act, Khaleda and other BNP leaders proved that they have no honour for the language. Otherwise, they couldn’t step on the altar which the whole nation regards as a sacred place,” she told a discussion in the city. Protesting the Prime Minister’s comment, Rizvi said Hasina has manifested her blind opposition to the BNP chairperson with her remarks. “She’s running the country based on untruth and now hatching various plots at both home and aboard to misguide people.”
He said the Prime Minister will not be able to confuse people with her ‘false and fabricated’ information about BNP.
