BNP chairperson Brig Gen (retd) Hannan Shah Saturday said certain quarters are trying to create confusion in BNP by taking advantage of party secretary general Khandaker Delwar Hossain's illness.

Talking to media men at his New DOHS house, he urged BNP leaders and workers to remain alert against any conspiracy and confusion. He said BNP remains united and its future action programmes will be mapped out to run it more effectively on Delwar's return from abroad. "There is no misunderstanding amongst us. After my release from jail, I had a long discussion with him (Delwar). As he has fallen ill suddenly and gone abroad for treatment, certain quarters are spreading confusion," he said.

Shah wished Delwar's early recovery.

BNP joint secretary general Goyeshwar Chandra Roy was critical of some dailies for what he called creating confusion in BNP. He said no one has the right to drop Khandaker Delwar Hossain from the post of BNP secretary general as per the party constitution. He said there is no confusion about Begum Khaleda Zia as its chairperson and Khandaker Delwar Hossain as secretary general, and BNP will run under their leadership.

Roy said if the unity of the nationalist forces could be given a firm footing, the release of Begum Zia will be expedited.
