BNP on Monday urged the government to prove the Qatar-based news channel Al Jazeera’s recent report on Bangladesh ‘false’, and promised to cooperate with it in this regard.

Information Minister Hasan Mahmud has rejected Bangladesh’s ranking in the Transparency International’s (TI) Corruption Perception Index (CPI) 2020.

Bangladesh appeared as the second-worst among South Asian countries in curbing corruption after Afghanistan, according to the Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) 2020.

BNP on Saturday alleged that it is Awami League, not BNP, which has planted the 'venom tree of corruption’ in Bangladesh and produced fraudster like Regent Group Chairman Mohammad Shahed and over 50 casinos in the capital.
