It also alleged that former prime minister and BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia, who has thrown her support behind the Rampal plant protesters, had been creating confusion over the movement. Professor Anu Muhammad said, "People had hoped that the prime minister would consider their opinion and independent experts' views on the plant. That's why her speech is full of wrong information and exaggeration," he said. The leftist parties have been with oil-gas committee in the protests against the Rampal project since it was initiated. Prime Minister Hasina said the BNP, which had been instigating the anti-Rampal protests 'secretly', had now come out in public with its stand.
