Cabinet reshuffle proves corruption
Says Mirza Fakhrul
BNP acting Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir yesterday said the reshuffle in the cabinet proved that the allegation of corruption against ministers was correct.
“The changes proved that the ministers are corrupt. The World Bank already sent a letter to the government and the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) in this regard,” he said, while he was addressing a meeting organised by Jatiyatabadi Krishak Dal at Dhaka Reporters' Unity.
Fakhrul also spoke at a rally in front of the party's central office in Nayapaltan to protest the government decision to split Dhaka City Corporation (DCC) and the arrest and attack on former mayor Sadeque Hossain Khoka.
Khoka was picked up during hartal hours on Sunday and released a few hours later. Later, he was admitted to the hospital and BNP alleged that Khoka was stabbed by the ruling party cadres under police custody.
Fakhrul announced a five-day programme at all thanas under Dhaka City Corporation and all districts, protesting attack on Khoka and demanding release of the arrested leaders.
Protesting the comment of LGRD Minister Ashraful Islam that BNP is a party of war criminals, he said BNP was founded by a freedom fighter.
Dr Abdul Moyeen Khan, Mirza Abbas and Abdullah Al Noman also spoke at the rally.
