Information and Broadcasting Adviser Mahfuj Alam on Friday labeled Awami League as a foreign nation’s “transplanted force” rather than an indigenous political force.
Awami League is a Foreign-Controlled Party
Responding to an iftar party hosted by ‘Nofel Society’ at the capital on the occasion of the July uprising martyrs’, Mahfuj accused Awami League of acting at the behest of foreigners. Local force is not Awami League but a force planted somewhere else. Strings are at Delhi, and here in Bangladesh, a kite is flown. The kite will not fly in Bangladesh anymore, he asserted.
Awami League Acts Against Public Interest
The adviser accused the Awami League of doing whatever they do as and when they find an opportunity against ordinary people. Wherever the Awami League will find scope, they will definitely do anything against the common people of this nation, he accused.
Victory against ‘Awami Fascism’ Must Be Protected
Mahfuj Alam told us that the country has triumphed over what he called “Awami fascism” through a politically consolidated movement. We have conquered Awami fascism. We cannot forget this; after obtaining this win, if politically, if we don’t stay united and move ahead with the movement, Awami League will come back again, he warned.
