Daily Star Editor Mahfuz Anam in a statement on Thursday clarified his position as Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina alleged that he had hatched a conspiracy to stop the foreign fund for the Padma Multipurpose Bridge.
“Yesterday, Wednesday, 18th May, during her speech marking her homecoming from exile Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina made a reference to me and said, ‘… Dr. Yunus and, we have heard that Mahfuz Anam, they went to America, went to the State Department and sent email to Hillary (Clinton). Anyway the World Bank President, on his last working day, not in any Board meeting, stopped the funding of Padma Bridge’,” reads the statement.
“I respectfully and humbly state that comments made about me are not founded on facts,” he said.
