Such remarks will create confusion in the ruling 14-Party alliance, JaSaD has said in a veiled warning to the Awami League which leads the coalition.
JaSad, which Information Minister Hasanul Haq Inu leads, issued a statement on Monday.
Their reaction came after media reports said Awami League Presidium member Selim on Sunday alleged that JaSaD was responsible for creating the ground for the assassination of Bangabandhau Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
Following his remarks, acting BNP spokesperson Asaduzzaman Ripon on Monday blamed JaSaD for the unstable situation in Bangladesh between 1972 and 1975 and demanded investigation into their role during that time.
JaSaD’s statement said the similar anti-JaSaD comments by Selim and Ripon nearly at the same time had led them to question whether there was any connection between them.
The unity in the 14-Party alliance would be threatened by the Awami League leader’s comment similar to the BNP, it said.
The statement was signed by JaSaD Executive President Moin Uddin Khan Badal and General Secretary Sharif Nurul Ambia.
It said ‘such remarks by Sheikh Fazlul Karim Selim would only strengthen the enemy’.
