Four senior government officials on Monday strongly protested the comment made by BNP spokesman Ruhul Kabir Rizvi. The other three government officials who were named by Rizvi also did not go to the Officers Club on that day. The Prime Minister’s Office in a rejoinder said Rizvi alleged that PMO Secretary Sajjadul Hasan joined the so-called secret meeting which was entirely untrue, misleading, and imaginary. “This is because he (Sajjadul) did not go the officers club on that day,” it read. EC Secretary Helal also countered Rizvi’s claim on Saturday night and urged BNP leaders to stay away from “falsehood.”
