Fakhrul doesn’t know to respect party men: Minister

Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Anisul Huq today said BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir does not know how to respect his own party men.

“One BNP leader took oath as parliamentarian. But Fakhrul said he took oath coming under pressure from government agencies. He (Fakhrul) looks for government’s shadow in everywhere,” Anisul said, reports BSS.

The minister said these while addressing a function held on the occasion of inaugurating newly-constructed building of NI Bhuiyan Degree College in Mulgram Union under Kasba upazila in Brahmanbaria.

Anisul further said, “The government wants to get rid of drugs and militancy from the country as it does not wants to see repetition of incidents like New Zealand and Sri Lanka.”

Presided over by President of NI Bhuiyan Degree College governing body Motiur Rahman, the function was also attended, among others, by Kasba Upazila Parishad Chairman Rashedul Kaiser Bhuiyan Jibon, former Chairman Anisul Haque Bhuiyan, Upazila Nirbahi Officer Hasina Islam, Kasba Awami League Joint Convener MG Haqqani and City Mayor Emran Uddin Jewel.
