Dhaka,The ruling Awami League's repeated allegations that the opposition's anti-government movement aims to save the war criminals refeclt a loss of public support, , the BNP spokesman has said.
"Whenever a movement is waged against the government's failure, the government, being puzzled, tries to stop the movement by playing the broken record of war crimes," the party's acting secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said on Friday.
"When we used to launch movement for the people during the Pakistani regime, the Pakistanis would brand us as 'Indian collaborators'. And now confusion is created by crying 'war crimes, war war crimes' whenever we say anything against the Awami League," he added.
Fakhrul was speaking at a discussion titled "Caretaker Government Issue and Democratic Movement' organised by Jatiyatabadi Textile Engineers Association of Bangladesh (JTEAB) at the National Press Club on Friday.
The BNP leader also urged the government not to create any obstruction to its 'grand rally' in Dhaka on Mar 12.
Earlier in the morning, Awami League joint secretary general Mahbubul Alam Hanif claimed that the ongoing movement of the BNP-Jamaat-e-Islami alliance demanding restoration of the caretaker government provision was meant to protect those facing charges of war crimes.
Hanif claimed that huge amount of money was coming from abroad to save Jamaat and the suspected war criminals.
Addressing the AL leaders, Fakhrul said, "Whatever false propaganda you spread, the BNP isn't involved in war crimes. Instead, you had offered general amnesty to the war criminals. It's you who have links with them."
Citing a report published in London-based 'The Economist' magazine, Fakhrul said that "bags of Indian cash and advice" had helped the Awami League to secure victory in the ninth parliamentary elections held in October 2008.
He asked Hanif to "look yourself up in the mirror" before making false claims that the opposition is bringing in fund from abroad for the movement.
The spokesperson alleged that the government destroyed the textile sector. Some 200 textile factories had already been sold to India and the Indians were buying many of the closed textile units, he said.
