Prime Minister's Adviser HT Imam yesterday blasted opposition leader Khaleda Zia for her remark that Awami League assumed power through a secret understanding with the last caretaker regime.
"She [Khaleda] will have to apologise to the people if she fails to prove her claim," he told a press conference at the AL president's political office in the capital's Dhanmondi.
BNP chairperson in a recent meeting in London had alleged that the decision of bringing AL to power was taken at a secret meeting among the chief adviser of the last caretaker government Fakhruddin Ahmed, the then army chief Moeen U Ahmed and Imam in Cox's Bazar, days before the 2008 polls, said the former bureaucrat.
Terming Khaleda's comment baseless, imaginary and ill-motivated, Imam insisted he had not been to Cox's Bazar in 2008, never even in five years before that.
He also complained the BNP chief is making such statements from the pain of being defeated in the last parliamentary elections.
The administrative affairs adviser categorically rejected BNP's demand for holding mid-term polls.
Imam urged Khaleda to join the parliament session and help a parliamentary body amend the constitution.
AL leaders Mahbubul Alam Hanif, Nuh-ul-Alam Lenin and Mrinal Kanti Das were present at the press conference.
