BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has alleged that businessman S. Alam paid Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Tk 2,500 crore in Delhi as part of a conspiracy to derail the upcoming election.
Speaking at a discussion marking the 10th death anniversary of Kazi Zafar Ahmed, Fakhrul said not only Hasina but also some political quarters were conspiring under the guise of demands to obstruct elections. “A section within the government is working to prevent pro-democracy forces from coming to power,” he warned, urging vigilance and speedy reforms of the July Charter.
