Slamming the Foreign Minister for seeking India’s 'support' to prop up Sheikh Hasina's government, BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Saturday said those who stay in power at the mercy of others have no right to rule the country, reports UNB.
“The current government does not believe in the independence and sovereignty of the country and they’re giving proof of this one after another,” he said.
“When the people of Bangladesh feel proud to identify themselves as an independent (nation), then the foreign minister sought help from the Indian government to keep Sheikh Hasina in power,” Fakhrul added.
Speaking at a human chain programme, Fakhrul said Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen’s comment has manifested that the Awami League government has been in power with the help of the Indian government.
He said the foreign minister gave an explanation of his statement on Friday but did not budge from his position and he reaffirmed what he said earlier.
“So we have to clearly say that those who stay in power at the mercy of others have no right to rule this country. They have no right to run the government of this country,” BNP senior leader said.
