Ex-DGFI chief visited Khaleda with 'minus-two' formula
Former DGFI director general Major Gen (retd) Sadik Hasan Rumi yesterday said he went to BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia's Mainul Hossain Road residence in the capital on April 17, 2007 with the proposal of “minus-two†formula.
The formula proposes the removal of Khaleda and Awami League (AL) President Sheikh Hasina from politics.
He had gone to the residence as per the then chief of army staff Gen Moeen U Ahmed's order, said Rumi.
He was being cross-examined before a Dhaka court by the counsel for detained Harkatul Jihad al Islami leader Mufti Abdul Hannan, the prime accused in two cases filed over the August 21, 2004 grenade attacks on an AL rally in the capital's Bangabandhu Avenue.
Rumi said he did not oppress eminent lawyers and politicians during the last military-backed caretaker government but these took place without his knowledge.
