In a virtual meeting of the standing committee members on Saturday, BNP claimed that it thinks the premier is presenting "false information" in the parliament to confuse the countrymen.
"She (prime minister) is basically 'conspiring' to keep the people's democratic rights and the movement for restoration of democracy out of sight," BNP standing committee said in the meeting.
