BNP will have to bear Papul’s responsibility: Hanif

Awami League (AL) joint general secretary Mahabub-ul-Alam Hanif, MP, said on Saturday BNP will have to bear the responsibility of Papul as the allegations of corruption, including earning of money, against Papul were during the BNP regime.

“Papul is not a member of the ruling party but an independent lawmaker. And the allegations of corruption, including earning of money, had been raised against Papul were happened during the BNP’s tenure,” he said.

“If there is any allegation against him (Papul), BNP have to bear the responsibility,” he said these while responding to a question of newsmen at his Kushtia residence on PTI Road in the afternoon.

Replying to another query, he said, “There was no corruption in the Padma Bridge and it had been proved by an international court. This is a fictitious allegation of BNP.”

It had been proved that BNP was behind this fictitious allegation asthey (BNP) were talking about it.

About the ongoing elections, he said that BNP took part in the elections to make the election commission system controversial in a planned way.

Hanif also said during the voting it is seen that neither they have polling agents nor voters.

“And it is natural that the administration will play a neutral role while maintain law and order during the polls. If the BNP terrorists carry out sabotage acts in the name of voting, the law enforcement agencies will take action,” he added.
