"Apart from the disgruntled army officers, the investigation will also expose the politicians who instigated the scheme," he said.
Hanif, also a special assistant to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, was speaking at a discussion organised by Bangabandhu Sangskritik Jote at Shilpakala Academy marking the 7th death anniversary of former finance minister Shah AMS Kibria.
"Action would be taken so that no political leader would dare to snatch power in future using the army," he said.
The AL joint general secretary pointed out that three months ago, BNP Chairperson
Khaleda ZiaThree-term PM of Bangla, widow of deceased dictator Ziaur Rahman, head of the Bangla Nationalist Party, an apparent magnet for corruption ...
had threatened to oust the government by last December and the chaos in the military also occurred in that very month.
He asked whether Khaleda had known about the plot all through, as her speech and the foiled scheme exhibit a mysterious connection. The investigation would find out who provided money from London and engineered the plot, he added.
Hanif termed BNP's rally in the capital tomorrow an ill motive to create chaos. Talking to The Daily Star, he said law enforcers would take appropriate measures to keep normality in public life.
On the trial of Kibria killing case, State Minister for Law Quamrul Islam, who was also present at the discussion, said further investigation is going on. He hoped that the real culprits would be found out and their trial would be held.
