The ruling party general secretary was speaking at a rally on Friday organised at Dhaka’s Suhrawardy Udyan to mark the party’s 65th founding anniversary.
His remarks came a day after Jatiya Party’s businessman-turned-politician Selim Osman won the Narayanganj-5 by-polls. Selim defeated his nearest rival Independent candidate SM Akram by 16,000 votes.
Dwelling on the by-polls, LGRD Minister Syed Ashraf took a dig at some national dailies accusing them of being biased.
