Dr Tasnim Jara, former senior joint member secretary of the National Citizen Party (NCP), has rejected claims that she held discussions with the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), calling the allegations false and fabricated.
In a post on her verified Facebook page on Monday, she said rumours were circulating about supposed political negotiations involving her and the BNP.
“A false claim is being spread that Tasnim Jara had negotiations with BNP. Some are even claiming that Jara maintains a channel with BNP and that BNP gave her a green signal,” she wrote.
She strongly denied any contact with the party. “I have never had any such discussion with BNP or any other party,” she said.
Jara challenged those making the claims to provide evidence, including names, dates and details of any alleged meetings.
“Ask those who are spreading these claims when, where and with whom this negotiation took place. They will not be able to provide any names, dates or evidence,” she wrote.
She added that no such incident had ever occurred and said the rumours were being spread to promote a specific narrative.
“The purpose of spreading this falsehood is to create a narrative that suits certain interests,” she said.
Dr Tasnim Jara previously contested the 13th parliamentary election from the Dhaka-9 constituency as an independent candidate but was defeated.
