Ashraf sees 'London conspiracy'
[Bangla Daily Star]  Awami League General Secretary Syed Ashraful Islam yesterday said if any attack on Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina or the party were planned, it would be devised in London, not in the country."Such a scheme would be hatched in London and executed in Bangladesh," he told a meeting of the Awami League Central Working Committee (ALCWC) with party chief Sheikh Hasina in the chair at the Gono Bhaban. The minister, however, did not name anybody in this connection. Referring to his January 14 talks with the UK's Secretary of State for International Development Andrew Mitchell in Dhaka, Ashraf said he had informed Mitchell about the matter during the meeting. "If any such incident [attack] occurs in Bangladesh, it'll have an impact on the entire world, including the neighbouring countries. The international community is worried about it," he mentioned. Ashraf called upon the people as well as his party men to remain alert about keeping the BNP out of power. "So you have to remain cautious about any probable attempt to turn the country into Khaleda Zia Three-term PM of Bangla, widow of deceased dictator Ziaur Rahman, head of the Bangla Nationalist Party, an apparent magnet for corruption ... 's Bangladesh. We don't want to be recognised as a corrupt nation in the world." The AL spokesperson accused the BNP and its chairperson of doing everything possible to foil the ongoing trial of war criminals. Posted by: Fred 2012-02-05 |
