Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) on Saturday rejected allegations made by a Jamaat-e-Islami leader regarding alleged agreements between BNP and India, describing the claims as “political propaganda” aimed at creating confusion ahead of the election. There is no truth or factual basis to such claims, nor will he be able to provide any evidence,” Mahadi said. He added that the allegations were either a deliberate political tactic to stir controversy or a result of misinformation and ignorance. “We want to state clearly that claims of BNP signing agreements with India are entirely fabricated,” he said. He further said BNP expects a shift towards positive and responsible politics in the post-uprising political landscape, warning against disinformation, political manoeuvring and divisive narratives.
