"The media reports over a plot to attack the prime minister on Aug 24 are totally baseless, misleading and intentional," the Prime Minister’s Office said in a rare statement. The reports said six to seven SSF personnel were preparing to attack PM Hasina on Aug 24 . The reports said JMB members were supposed to trigger explosions around the office to create a diversion and provide an escape route for the assassins. Before, the PMO issued the statement, cabinet member and veteran Awami League leader Amir Hossain Amu said the report was untrue. "The media is being requested to run a fact-check and use its discretion before running such baseless and misleading reports," the PMO said.
