Mr. Ataul Karim
The real source of Khaleda Zia taking ISI money was revealed in the Supreme Court of Pakistan:
Dubai news paper had just published the hard news, it was not an nonoperative writing:
ISI Paid 50 Million To Khaleda Zia Of Bangladesh
Dubai based newspaper said that Pakistan Inter services Intelligence, the ISI had provided 50 million rupees to BNP Chairman, Khaleda Zia of Bangladesh for her election campaign in 1991. Khaleda Zia became the Prime Minister after winning the 1991 election. The report was based on the proceedings of Asghar Khan's case in Pakistan Supreme court.
Asghar Khan's petition finally comes
up for hearing
[came up for hearing before the Supreme Court of Pakistan on Wednesday February, 29]:
......A total of Rs140 million was disbursed after Mehran Bank illegally advanced it to the ISI account. Another Rs50 million was allegedly paid to Bangladesh's Khalida Zia to help her in polls .....
...........The ISI had brought together various conservative and religious parties and groups under the banner of Islami Jamhoori Ittehad (IJI) to collectively face the PPP .....
The Economist report was just a nonoperative write up where the writer has failed to mention any news source ....It was essentially a hateful slur on the mass voters of Bangladesh, which
was basically, a slanderous heresy ...:
The report is less than well researched and contains elements of misinformation and a misrepresentation of facts.
"The international community, including independent observers, hailed the historic elections in December 2008 as the freest ever in the history of the country, which was reflective of the aspirations of the people. His comment is also a slur on the democracy-loving people of Bangladesh – one of the largest democracies in the world. ...."

Awami League President Sheikh Hasina yesterday asked her arch rival Khaleda Zia to respond to the allegation that Pakistan's Inter Services Intelligence paid Rupees 5 crore for her campaign during the 1991 parliamentary elections.Citing a recent report in the Dubai-based newspaper Khaleej Times, which made the allegation, she said, “To those who resorted to genocide and who had been defeated, you [Khaleda] sold the country [interest] by taking money from those defeated forces in 1971. The people of Bangladesh won't forgive you. Why did you take money from the defeated forces? People want to know. One day you have to answer to the people.�The prime minister was addressing a huge rally before the city's Suhrawardy Udyan to commemorate the historic March 7. It was the first public meeting of Hasina in the capital after she became prime minister in 2009.Leaders, workers and supporters of the Awami League, its different associated bodies, pro-ruling party organisations, freedom fighters, and different professionals' organisations joined the rally. The ruling party men crowded the area from the Jatiya Press Club to Science Laboratory intersection and New Market to Kakrail.This was the largest campaign to show off its public support by the ruling party since it assumed power in 2009. Lawmakers of Dhaka and its adjacent districts along with their supporters brought out a procession after the rally from Institution of Engineers' Bangladesh. The procession ended at Bangabandhu Bhaban in Dhanmondi.Hasina during her speech alleged that the leader of the opposition wanted to protect war criminals. “But I want to say that you [Khaleda] won't be able to protect them…I want to say firmly that the trial of the war criminals will be held on this soil, Inshallah.�She urged all to be aware of those trying to protect the war criminals and sought help from all for completing the trial of war criminals.Awami League General Secretary Syed Ashraful Islam at the rally accused the opposition BNP chief Khaleda Zia of being a paid agent and broker of Inter Services Intelligence (ISI). “She has adoration for Pakistan and for this she took 5 crore rupee from the ISI ahead of the 1991 general elections. And for this reason she has been giving utmost importance to Pakistan's interests, putting aside the interests of Bangladesh…�Ashraf, also LGRD and Cooperatives minister, urged the opposition leader to place the BNP's proposal on the process of holding the next parliamentary elections and give up its “chaotic anti-government programmes�.“Join parliament, place your proposal and sit for discussion on the process of holding the next polls. The Awami League is ready to sit with you,� Ashraf made the call.Thousands of Awami League men started gathering in front of Suhrawardi Udyan around noon with banners, festoons, placards and portraits of the father of the nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. Within three hours the entire road from Shahbagh to Jatiya Press Club turned into a human sea. Bangabandhu's historic March 7 speech was being played on loud speakers as well.Band parties with drum beaters led processions of different units of the Awami League and its wing organisations to the rally. Some people were seen with painted faces and bodies. A symbolic gallows on a van was taken there where symbolic war criminals were showcased to be hanged. Musicians were singing patriotic songs on trucks decorated like stages. Some party men brought elephants and horses decorated with colourful banners on them that drew the attention of the gathering.The prime minister arrived around 4:45pm amidst huge applause from the audience. Foolproof security measures were taken centring on the rally.Hasina said the BNP chairperson had been staging a movement for the restoration of the caretaker government system. “Did she forget that the last caretaker government put her in jail and forced her two sons to flee the country?“What is the guarantee that a caretaker government will bring her to power? If a caretaker government comes, it will bring back her [Khaleda] two sons from abroad and put them in jail.�She said the last military-backed caretaker government had resorted to torture of professionals, politicians, businessmen, teachers, government officials and students.She said her party took to the streets for the caretaker government after the BNP resorted to vote rigging during the BNP's first term between 1991 and 1996. “But around 5,200 elections have been held under the present government and all the elections have been free and fair and nobody raised any questions about a single election,� she said.Awami League leaders Amir Hossain Amu, Tofail Ahmed, Suranjit Sengupta, Matia Chowdhury, Sheikh Fazlul Karim Selim, Latif Siddiqui, Mahbubul Alam Hanif, MA Aziz and Quamrul Islam also spoke a
