Information Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud said a discussion meeting on Friday(Nov.8) that the BNP leaders are leaving their party due to its negative politics.
Institution of Diploma Engineers (IDEB), Bangladesh, arranged the discussion at its auditorium marking its 49th founding anniversary.
Speaking as the chief guest, Hasan said BNP leaders M Morshed Khan and Lt. Gen. (Retd) Mahbubur Rahman have already left the BNP because of its politics of vandalism. As a result, he said, the strength of BNP is diminishing. Welcoming constructive criticism, he said BNP criticizes everything done by the government, but it should acknowledge the government’s good works and development activities.
Hasan, also Awami League publicity and publication secretary, said although the whole world lauds the progress made by Bangladesh, BNP remains blind in this regard.
He advised BNP to do positive and constructive politics instead of negative one for their existence.
