Go to the people, not foreigners: Hasan tells BNP
Information Minister Hasan Mahmud
Dhaka, July 13 -- Information and Broadcasting Minister Hasan Mahmud on Wednesday advised the opposition BNP to work for winning people’s support to come to power instead of lobbying with the foreigners.
He said this when journalists sought his comments on the opposition party’s recent meeting with the UN
Talking to journalists at Bangladesh Secretariat the minister further said that foreigners must not interfere in the country’s internal matters.
Hasan said BNP continues to insult the country by frequently going to the foreigners to raise the country’s domestic issues.

“The people will cast their ballots, not foreigners,” he said pointing to BNP.
