Information and Broadcasting Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud on Sunday said that BNP goes into hibernation during any disaster, but they appear as migratory birds ahead of elections, reports BSS.
“BNP is never found besides the people during any calamity. They come like migratory birds during election periods and go into hibernation again after doing extortion and nomination trade,” he said.
Hasan, also ruling Awami League (AL) joint general secretary, said if BNP leaders come during the election time, “you should consider them as guests and say - please, go inside (house), we could not cast vote for you.”
He made the remarks while speaking as special guest on the occasion of handing over winter clothes meant for the cold-hit people to presidents and general secretaries of all district units of AL under Rangpur division at Five Star Ground on Sunday afternoon, said a press release.
