Raid houses of all AL leaders: Moudud
DHAKA: BNP standing committee member Barrister Moudud Ahmed Thursday alleged that huge amounts of bribed money could be recovered from the possessions of the ruling party leaders, ministers and lawmakers if door to door raid is conducted.“All ministers and lawmakers of the government, except two or three, are involved in corruption. Massive raids on their houses should be conducted to recover the illegal money,” Moudud told a discussion meeting on the country’s prevailing political situation, organised by Zia Nagoric Forum at the National Press Club.
Referring to the incident of money recovered from the possession of the railway minister Suranjit sengupta’s personal assistance, Moudud said the country has already been turned into an ocean of corruption.
“If such incident would have taken place in any other country like India, the concerned minister would not only be forced to resign but also legal actions would have been taken instantly,” he pointed out.
Moudud demanded exemplary punishment of the masterminds behind the bribery incident and said a high level judicial inquiry would be able to unearth the mystery and fix the culprits.
The senior BNP leader reminded that his party had for long been accusing the government of breeding massive corruption. “The latest scandal involving Suranjit and his personal staff had proved that the opposition’s assertions were right,” Moudud said and called the railway minister’s immediate resigntion.
