Padma bridge bribe was ready for 6 Reveals investigation by Canadian police; ACC prepares to quiz them; ex-communications boss says, 'I am a holy person' (Thursday, June 21, 2012) The cats are out now.
Amdem, USA ACC is talking much before the investigation.
Ratan yoti, USA Let us hope Awami League and future governments will introduce tough penalties against these guilty individuals as they brought shame to the country.
Sellma The ACC talks too much. It is dishonesty of highest level. Please save the dignity of the poor Bangladeshi people.
Pothik We the people of Bangladesh are bearing the brunt of misdeeds done by our 'HOLY' men. The country is cursed with 'efficient, transparent and holy men'.
Dr Islam The accused should stand trial in the people's court for their alleged involvement in the graft. These people are the real enemy of the nation, they are ruining everything.
Saleh Mohammad Ayub The government in its own greater interest should make sure that a thorough investigation is done immediately in the light of the findings of Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and action is taken against the offenders as per the law of the land. If this is not done right away, the government might have to pay a heavy price politically as well as economically.
Hafeejul Alam We should not think that corruption is limited to only a few ministers.
Roni Rahman ACC chief should have the guts to do an independent investigation. The PM is making the biggest mistake of her political career by protecting the minister.
Asif Is it possible for the ACC to investigate this corruption case? It is very disgraceful that our nation has been humiliated internationally.
Suahmed The prime minister must realise that her political future, country's integrity, and the future of the AL as a political party are much more important than one minister alleged to be corrupt for a long time.
Upfront I have very little doubt in my belief that the ACC chief is not honestly pursuing the case, like many others of the past. It is possible that he is afraid to do the right thing, but he is not doing the job in a proper way.
Dr. Ahsan Habib, USA Now the ACC chief is looking at the corruption information provided by the RCMP. He has already given clean chit to the criminals. It is not surprising as he was appointed wholly on political consideration and was probably given at the fag end of his professional career. So what can we expect from whim?
Dr. Nazmul Haq Yes, they all are holy persons but that did not prevent them from taking bribes. This is a holy duty.
