Padma bridge corruption will be tried: Fakhrul
BNP Acting Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir yesterday said Padma bridge must be constructed with the fund of World Bank (WB) by ensuring punishment of corrupt persons.
“Finance minister is making false and confusing statements regarding WB's decision to cancel loan agreement only to protect corrupt minister and bureaucrats. Such corrupt persons will be brought under trial if BNP voted to power,” he said while addressing a discussion organised by party's Lalbagh unit at Jatiya Press Club.
He said government is now trying to collect loan from Malaysia with high interest rate for Padma bridge construction but people will not accept it.
At a separate discussion in the press club, party's Standing Committee Member Moudud Ahmed said cancellation of Padma bridge loan agreement for corruption allegation is a “morale fallen” of the government.
