DHAKA: BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has blamed the ruling Awami League for the terrorists’ attack on BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia’s motorcade in Feni.

In an immediate reaction on Saturday (October 28), the BNP leader, who is now with Khaleda Zia at the motorcade, said that the attack is ‘pre-planned’.

“The AL miscreants attacked on Khaleda Zia’s motorcade in a planned way. The attack is on a peaceful and humanitarian program. It is shameful,” he said.    

Referring to the attack on him during a visit to Chittagong, Mirza Fakhrul said that the Awami League doesn’t tolerate the humanitarian activities of others.
