BNP's politics of propaganda
BNP's politics of propaganda target erasing Liberation War memories: Speakers
BNP has been letting off volleys of lies in the political sphere to delete people's memories about the struggle for the country's independence, mask their own crimes and seize the state power by any means, said speakers at a webinar.
They said their system of generating lies crossed the country's territory, sparing not even foreign embassies and US senators.
Their spectrum of false narratives covers not just the liberation struggle but the rise of BNP as a political party, the rise of Ziaur Rahman as the president, and even the amendment of BNP's constitution, the speakers said.

The observations were made at a webinar, organized by the ruling Awami League, titled 'The Saga of Politics: BNP's Politics of Lies Episode 1'. Awami League Publication and Publicity Deputy Secretary Aminul Islam Amin conducted the webinar on Friday night.
Noted journalist Ajoy Dasgupta and Fisheries and livestock Minister SM Rezaul Karim spoke at the session.
When the country is striding unstoppable with infrastructural mega-projects such as roads, bridges, and tunnels, BNP has resorted to lies and propaganda as it is unable to tolerate those success stories, said the speakers.
Referring to the inception of BNP as a party, Aminul Islam said it is the party formed on the prescription of Pakistan's intelligence ISI following the assassination of Bangabandhu and his family and given birth to by military dictator Ziaur Rahman. “That BNP has taken the politics of propaganda to such a height that it might well make the father of political propaganda Joseph Goebbels ashamed.”
