It made the mistake by not contesting the 10th general election, the minister told reporters at Chittagong on Sunday.
“Now they are saying rubbish out of frustration.”
BNP Senior Vice Chairman Tarique Rahman at an April 8 programme in London claimed that the nation’s founder Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was an ‘illegal prime minister’.
In another event on Mar 25, Tarique, the eldest son of the party’s founder Ziaur Rahman and Chairperson Khaleda Zia, suggested his father was the first president of Bangladesh.
Khaleda soon endorsed her son’s diatribes against Sheikh Mujib.

The BNP was taking a big risk by making these preposterous comments on history, said Quader.
About Tarique, accused in multiple cases in Bangladesh, he said, “One has to suffer jail and abuse if they want to be in politics.”
“He (Tarique Rahman) does not have the courage to go to jail. But what he is saying is part of a conspiracy and he will face trial for it.”
