“If we go to power getting people’s mandate, we will review the Awami League government’s all agreements in power and energy sector to take necessary measures,” he told a press conference at BNP chairperson's Gulshan political office in the capital on Thursday (January 2), reports BSS.

BNP organized the press conference to reveal its analysis titled “Money looting and laundering through irregularities and corruption in the power and energy sectors in the last 15 years of Awami League regime”.

BNP Standing Committee member and former state minister for power Iqbal Hasan Mahmud Tuku presented a written statement at the press conference. Standing Committee member Nazrul Islam Khan was also present.

Mirza Fakhrul said Awami League is getting one kind of advantage due to debates and controversies in the country’s political arena now.

“The people will forget everything gradually if we don't continue talking about corruption and criminalization of Awami League regime," he said.
