Transparency International Bangladesh trustee Muzaffar Ahmad on Saturday defended the corruption watchdog's Parliament Watch report following remarks by prime minister Sheikh Hasina criticising the report.
The TIB in the report published last week said over Tk 5 crore and 24 hours of the House's time were wasted during the first session due to quorum problems.
Hasina, in a speech at the conclusion of the House's budget session on Thursday, termed the TIB report "one-sided" and "motivated".
Muzaffar, former TIB chairman now a member of TIB's trustee board, told reporters on Saturday, "We think the prime minister's statement is not right." ---
