BNP has to apologize for the Padma bridge
The information minister asked BNP to apologize to the nation for the “negative propaganda” about the Padma bridge.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, daughter of Bangabandhu, has linked this state ownership with the state.

During Zia’s tenure, politicians who defected from the party used to sell their hats, but many have been sold in those places. Mr. Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir is also a politician who is sold on the politics market.
Hassan said: “At that time a rich class was created, a class of bank robbers was created. Bank loans were then made to BNP-backed entrepreneurs, BNP leaders, whose loans were not repaid. The loan would have been made knowing that the loan would not have to be repaid. In other words, the looting began during Zia’s tenure. And that looting has been completed in sixteen arts during Khaleda Zia’s tenure. “
