Tarique conspiring against country: Hanif

Mahbubul Alam Hanif

Awami League Joint General Secretary Mahbubul Alam Hanif on Saturday alleged BNP Senior Vice-Chairman Tarique Rahman is hatching a conspiracy to hinder the country’s democratic progress.    

"This is sad that he is engaged in a conspiracy against the country and that is why he is staying in London on an expired parole,” said Hanif, a special assistant to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

Speaking at a press conference at the party chief's political office in Dhanmondi in the capital, the AL leader said Tarique is a "fugitive in the eye of laws".

“No matter whoever his (Tarique) father or mother is, law will take its own course and none will be spared,” Hanif warned.

Hanif said Tarique should come back to the country and face the charges at courts if he dares.
