The Awami League president made the remarks during a rally with members of her party’s Madaripur unit on Sunday.
“Today I would like to congratulate Kamal Hossain. He has formed an alliance. With whom?”
“He talks big, criticising corruption, crimes and money laundering. The BNP and Jamaat are crooks. But now he has formed an alliance with them.”
Three days before the new alliance was announced, BNP Senior Vice Chairman Tarique Rahman was sentenced to life in prison in connection with the Aug 21 grenade attack.
The son of BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia is also sentenced to jail in a money laundering case and has been sentenced to jail over the Zia Orphanage Trust graft case.
“Killers, people who burn others alive, the corrupt, those who steal money from orphans. He forms an alliance with them,” Hasina said.
“Some other minor people have joined in as well. That is their alliance.”
Rab, who was a member of the Bangladesh Chhatra League and later joined JSD, was a minister under the 1996-2000 Hasina government. Manna is also a former organising secretary of the Awami League.
The Kamal-led alliance left out its previous ally, Bikalpadhara led by AQM Badruddoza Chowdhury as cracks opened among splinter groups.
