A reported audio clip of telephonic conversation between BNP standing leader Amir Khosru Mahmud Chowdhury and an unknown boy over intensifying the ongoing student movement went viral on Facebook and YouTube on Saturday.
Khosru, however, termed the audio false and fabricated one, and said it was circulated to thwart the student movement, reports UNB.
In the audio clip, it is heard that a boy, Naomi, phoned Khosru calling him as uncle, reports UNB.
The BNP leader asked the boy whether he has got involved in the student agitation.
Khosru directed the boy, who was reportedly talking from Comilla, to join the student movement in Dhaka with his 200-500 friends to intensify it.
The BNP standing committee member is also heard to instruct the boy to be active on social media in support of the movement.
Contacted, Khosru said, "It's just a cooked up audio clip and a false campaign. The government agencies made the audio faking my voice to frustrate the student movement."
He said people are aware of such evil tactics of the government as it made many audios faking BNP leaders' voices in the past only to blame them.
As a responsible political party, Khosru said their party extended its support to students justified movement.
"The government is now indulging in various plots to divert the movement to a different direction, but it'll turn into an abortive move," Khosru added.
