BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Wednesday said that Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s visit to the USA, the event she joined at the World Bank headquarters and the meeting with IMF top official resulted in "zero achievement."
“The World Bank's loan was predetermined. It was earlier fixed that they will give this loan. So the achievement in the Prime Minister's visit is zero,” he said.
The BNP leader made these remarks while talking to reporters after a close-door meeting with Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) Chairman Oli Ahmed at Gulshan chairperson's office.
"The IMF has said that under her (Sheikh Hasina) leadership... this is a blatant lie,” Fakhrul said adding that “We saw the papers... They (IMF) has already made a statement that they did not say this, only discussed in the meeting with her.”
Fakhrul said that the government is trying to mislead people from the beginning by spreading lies.
“Since there is no ground under their feet, by spreading this kind of false, they want to spread that the trip has been very successful,” he added.
