BNP’s call for boycotting Indian products failed: Foreign Minister

BNP’s call for boycotting Indian products failed; people to reject fresh move, Foreign Minister Hasan Mahmud on Monday said people will reject it again if BNP comes up with the old and failed agenda of calling a boycott for Indian products.

“Their efforts (call for boycotting Indian products) went unsuccessful. They know it, too. It will be refused by the people of the country again if BNP comes up with the agenda afresh,” the Awami League joint general secretary told reporters at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs while responding to a question.

He said BNP will further be isolated from people, nothing more than that if they call for a boycott of Indian products.

The AL leader said there are Indian products in many of their (BNP leaders) houses.

Hasan said it is essential to keep good relations with the country as the two countries share long borders.

It is not possible to maintain peace and stability with uninterrupted development efforts in the country without good relations with the neighbor.

The foreign minister said the key purpose of such a call from BNP was to create a crisis in the domestic market and cause price hikes of essentials in an effort to create instability in the market.

Responding to a question, the AL leader said the BNP is part of such an alliance which gets smaller and sometimes bigger when within the alliance one party becomes three through further divisions.
