Dhaka: Awami League (AL) joint general secretary Mahbub-Ul-Alam Hanif said on Wednesday that Bangladesh Nationalist Party has been plotting anew to destabilise the country demanding mid-term elections.

‘BNP has been trying to destabilize the country with taking up different issues. They are now putting forward the demand of holding interim election as part of the anti-state conspiracy,’ he said after paying rich tribute to Sheikh Kamal marking his 66th birth anniversary by placing wreaths on his grave at Banani in the capital.

‘When the country is heading towards the development and peace and got the status of mid-income country, the BNP-Jamaat clique has been plotting one after another to make the country a failed state,’ he also said.

‘They started their conspiracy to push the country into darkness with assassination of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman along with his family members on 15 August in 1975,’ he said.

Calling upon all to remain alert against the evil force, the AL leader said, ‘They are still active to pursue their evil design.’
