Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today asked party leaders not to allow "infiltrators" into Bangladesh Awami League (AL), saying that the party's image will be tarnished due to their misdeeds.

"When any (party) remains in power, some people show up (to join the party) from different sides. After making their way in, they resort to misdeeds, and then the party has to bear the brunt," she said at a discussion marking National Mourning Day.

AL Dhaka city north and south units arranged the virtual discussion. Sheikh Hasina, also the AL president, joined the function from her official residence Gono Bhaban as the chief guest. Other leaders were connected from the AL central office on Bangabandhu Avenue in the capital.

Sheikh Hasina said this is why she warned party leaders and activists in the beginning of her tenure not to allow those who come from political parties founded by military dictators and those who were with war criminals.
