The prime minister and ruling Awami League chief, Sheikh Hasina, on Thursday advised main opposition BNP secretary general Fakhrul Islam Alamgir 'not to lie too much' as it would cut his longevity.
She also took on all the previous BNP secretary generals saying that they too told lies and spoke too much and died early.
Hasina advised Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir not to tell lies or speak too much.
In her winding up speech in the 10th session of parliament, Hasina took on the BNP secretaries general, past and present, dead or alive.
She said 'The previous secretaries general of BNP also used to speak too much and all of them died.'
She mentioned the previous BNP secretaries general Abdus Salam Talukder, Abdul Mannan Bhuiyan, Khandaker Delwar Hossain for what she said that they all spoke too much and died early for this.
She said Mashiur Rahman Jadu Mia too died for speaking too much.
But Jadu Mia was never the secretary general of BNP.
'I caution him (Fakhrul) not to tell lies too much,' said Hasina.
She said that they all accused Awami League of selling the country but did not take the initiative to demarcate the territorial boundary of the country during their rule.
She said that there should be a limit to telling lies.
She accused BNP secretaries general of telling lies frequently to mislead the people regarding the performance of Awami League led governments.
Hasina said, 'All the previous BNP secretaries general died for speaking too many lies. She said lying reduces longevity.'
She also criticised the opposition for attending only 51 out of 261 working days of parliament.
She said that the
leader of the opposition, Khaleda Zia attended only 6 days of the present parliament.
Hasina said that when in power BNP did not allow the then opposition Awami League to speak in parliament on the August 21 grenade attacks on an AL rally in 2004.
She said that proper investigation into the carnage was not allowed.
'They tried to suppress all the facts about the heinous crime by implicating poor Joj Mia with the case to stage a fake drama,' she said.
