Dhaka, Apr The BNP is not assisting the government in its efforts to find out missing opposition leader M Ilias Ali, local government minister Syed Ashraful Islam has said.
He, however, hoped that Ilias would be traced out.
The LGRD minister, also Awami League general secretary, said several drives to find out Ilias were on and expressed hope that the operations would yield the 'logical result' – his rescue.
Ashraf was addressing a rally organised by the ruling party's Dhaka city unit in front of its Bangabandhu Avenue headquarters.
Ilias, one of the organising secretaries of BNP, and Ansar Ali, the driver of his car, have been missing since Apr 18.
The BNP and his family have been claiming that government henchmen picked them up, an allegation denied vehemently by the government.
"Ilias Ali's party doesn't want his rescue," Ashraf said.
Many of senior the BNP leaders did not even receive calls' when contacted to speak about the issue, he added.
Law-enforcement agencies have conducted 12 drives to find the missing opposition party leader, he said.
"We are giving our 100 percent to trace Ilias Ali. The government is determined to keep the drives going until his rescue," he said.
