Dhaka, March 18 -- BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman on Monday alleged that a vested quarter is conspiring against the BNP, democracy, and the very existence and independence of Bangladesh.

"People involved in politics have been speaking about a scheme for the past few days.

A conspiracy is once again unfolding. We are not saying this merely as political rhetoric or to attract attention.

In fact, a serious conspiracy is gradually being hatched against Bangladesh's existence, sovereignty, democracy, and us, the nationalist forces," he said while virtually addressing an iftar mahfil in Dhaka.

The iftar event was organised by Zia Cyber Force in honour of the members of Jatiyatabadi Online Activists at a city hotel.
