Former home minister Lutfozzaman Babar has claimed Awami League ministers used to visit him while he was in prison.
At a rally in Netrokona’s Mohanganj on Saturday, he claimed he endured 17 and a half years in jail on “false” cases, receiving three death sentences and three life terms from Sheikh Hasina.
He said, “She [Hasina] would have hanged me if she has stayed for another year, because I did not do what she asked me to.
“Ministers and other people used to visit me at different times every year, but I did not respond to their words. I have returned because of your love.”
On the final day of his three-day tour, he held street meetings in different parts of the Upazila.
During his speeches, he urged locals not to support drug dealers or gamblers.
Babar has been named as the BNP candidate for the Netrokona-4 constituency, which includes Madan, Mohanganj, and Khaliajuri Upazilas.
