NCP leader Dr. Tasnim Jara has dismissed rumors that she met with an American official during her recent visit to Nepal. Jara clarified that she traveled to Nepal at the government’s invitation to attend a seminar on "Clean Air," where she spoke about the health impact of polluted air. She stressed that no American official contacted her during the trip, contrary to reports in an Indian news portal claiming she held a breakfast meeting with a US diplomat. The report even alleged that Bangladesh’s intelligence agencies were aware of the meeting—something Jara labeled “completely false and fabricated.” Addressing similar past rumors, she recalled speculation about her meeting with US Ambassador Peter Haas in Cox’s Bazar. Jara noted that on August 11, NCP did hold a meeting with the US envoy, but it was publicized through a press release, not a secret gathering. “BNP and Jamaat also held similar meetings with the ambassador, yet no disinformation was spread against them. False propaganda will not silence us,” she declared.
