Terming BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia’s meeting with some government officials on Thursday night as a ‘midnight blueprint’, Food Minister Quamrul Islam on Friday said necessary action will be taken against those involved in the ‘conspiracy’.
“It’s a conspiracy against the state…intelligence agencies will find out those involved in the conspiracy and actions will be taken accordingly,” he said.Quamrul, also a joint general secretary of Awami League’s Dhaka city unit, made the remarks at a discussion marking the 51st death anniversary of Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy at Shilpakala Academy.
“We saw last night a meeting was held in BNP Chairperson’s Gulshan office. This meeting reminds us the meeting held in November 2006 at Uttara. Our intelligence agencies are not that much inefficient that they won’t be able to find out who go where, when and why .They’ll find out who are involved in the conspiracy,” he added.
About BNP’s denial about such meeting, the Awami League leader said Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir claimed that no such meeting was held while BNP chairperson’s press secretary Maruf Kamal Khan said such might have taken place. Their statements are contradictory, he said.
“‘Gulshan conspiracy’ won’t be successful neither BNP will succeed by hatching conspiracies nor begging support from foreigners,” said Quamrul.
He suggested BNP to go to the people of the country instead of hatching conspiracies or resorting to any evil design. The minister urged all to resist BNP’s plot against the state and democracy.
