 Conspirators hiding in London engaged in plot against Bangladesh: Ashraful

Dhaka, Feb 4 (UNB) – Apparently pointing fingers at the suspects hiding in London, Awami League general secretary and LGRD minister Syed Ashraful Islam on Saturday said London would be the epicenter if any suicidal incident takes place in Bangladesh.

“Such preparations will be taken in London and the plan will be executed in Bangladesh,” he said referring to his recent talks with UK's Secretary of State for International Development
Andrew Mitchell MP in Dhaka.

Ashraful said he informed Andrew Mitchell about it during the meeting. “If any accident occurs in Bangladesh, it’ll have an impact on the entire world, including the neighbouring countries.”

On January 14, Andrew Mitchell, MP had been in Dhaka on a three-day official visit.

The LGRD Minister made the comments while delivering his opening remarks at the Awami League Central Working Committee (ALCWC) meeting at the official residence of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Ganobhaban.

The ALCWC held the meeting to discuss the country’s latest socio-economic and political situations with Party President Sheikh Hasina in the chair. ALCWC members were present at the meeting.
