Dhaka, Apr 19 Prime minister Sheikh Hasina has termed the 'disappearance' of BNP leader Ilias Ali a 'new drama' and alleged that the opposition leader Khaleda Zia was trying to make an issue for anti-government agitation.
"May be he (Ilias) is hiding somewhere following his leader's (Khaleda's) instruction," Hasina told a discussion to mark the Mujibnagar Day at the Bangabandhu International Conference Centre on Thursday.
"One of their (BNP's) officials, Harris Chowdhury, has been missing since the last caretaker government took charge. Since then he cannot be traced. Who knows if the latest one is also a case of 'self disappearance'?"
BNP's organising secretary and former MP Ilias Ali has been reported missing by his family since Tuesday night. Police found his car from the capital's Mohakhali area in the wee hours on Wednesday.
BNP has alleged that the law enforcing agencies picked up Ilias as the party couldn't trace him even after a day.
Refuting BNP's allegation Hasina said, "She (Khaleda) is always busy with playing new games. They have no issue to launch street protest. And this is probably one of those games."
She also alleged that 'killings and forced disappearances are the creations of BNP during the tenure of its founder Ziaur Rahman'.
Hasina slammed BNP for taking Shafiul Alam Pradhan, an accused of the sensational seven-murder case, in the BNP-led 18-Party Alliance.
Shafiul Alam Pradhan is the chief of JaGPa, a partner of the newly formed BNP-led alliance.
"They have formed an alliance with murderers. Everybody knows who has the practice of abducting people," Hasina said.
