DHAKA, – Information Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud today said BNP raised questions over the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Bangladesh during the celebration of Mujib Year due to the party’s continued trend of anti-Indian politics.

“Anti-Indian stance is the focal point of BNP’s politics. To maintain this trend, Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has been raising such irrelevant questions,” he told a press conference at the ministry’s meeting room at the Secretariat here.

Dr Hasan, also Awami League joint general secretary, said BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir’s remarks have two purposes-one is to maintain their anti-Indian stance and another one is to create provocation against the country’s communal harmony.

He urged the BNP to refrain from such acts for the betterment of the country.
