BNP hits back at PM for comments against Zia family

In the wake of Prime Minister’s statement in parliament about siphoning off money abroad by the Zia family and BNP leaders, party senior joint secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi yesterday alleged that Tk 86,000 crore has been laundered alone by persons close to Sheikh Hasina, reports UNB.
Speaking at a discussion, he also said Sheikh Hasina brought a false allegation of siphoning off money by BNP leaders and the Zia family as a trick to divert people’s attention to a different direction from Rohingya crisis. “You’re spending Tk 100 for a work worth of Tk one in the name of different projects and mega projects as you’ve been in power by force.
Different international organisations have estimated that people close to the Prime Minister have alone siphoned off Tk 86,000 crore abroad from Bangladesh, he said.
The BNP leader said no one is now raising voice against corruption by the ruling party men in fear of reprisal as the country under ‘Awami League misrule’.
“Those who collected information about the corruption and money laundering by the ruling party men cannot dare present their findings out of fear.
But different foreign media and researchers are observing it closely.”
The BNP leader warned that those ruling party men are plundering public money and siphoning off those abroad must be accountable to people someday.
Bangladesh Jatiya Nagorik Sangsad arranged the discussion programme at the Jatiya Press Club.
