BNP's Election Steering Committee spokesperson Mahdi Amin has said that the claims being carried out about an alleged agreement between the BNP and India are false and completely baseless propaganda.
"A very influential leader of a political party has made a claim about BNP's deal with India, referring to the media. But he could not present any evidence in support of his claim, nor will he be able to do so."
His remarks followed a statement by Jamaat Nayeb‑e‑Ameer Syed Abdullah Mohammad Taher, who claimed at a rally in Cumilla that a party was 'making a deal with India' to rule the country.
Speaking at a press briefing at the BNP Chairman's Gulshan office, he also said his remarks amounted to 'political smear tactics and misinformation' aimed at creating confusion during the election period.
Mahdi said BNP rejects 'negative propaganda, smear tactics and opportunistic politics' ahead of the polls.
"BNP's politics is Bangladesh-first politics. Under the leadership of Tarique Rahman, national interest, sovereignty and the empowerment of citizens come first.''
