AL govt sheltering many corrupt elements like Aziz-Benazir: Farroque

BNP Chairperson’s Advisory Council Member Zainul Abedin Farroque has alleged that the Awami League government is providing shelter to numerous corrupt individuals like Aziz Ahmed and Benazir Ahmed.

The BNP leader made the allegation on Friday at a demonstration programme organized by Projonmo Bangladesh, a pro-opposition platform, in front of the Jatiya Press Club to protest against the “illegitimate government's illegal agreement with India.”

“Where are now Benazir (former police chief Benazir Ahmed), Aziz (former army chief Aziz Ahmed), Matiur (revenue officer Matiur Rahman) to?,” he questioned.

New corrupt individuals like National Board of Revenue first secretary Quazi Abu Mahmud Faisal have emerged, he said.

“In Bangladesh, there are numerous individuals thriving under the shelter of the government, who have amassed crores of taka by plundering and made homes abroad. They also created mansions with swimming pools to swim at night. These people must be exposed, or the people of Bangladesh will never forgive you,” the BNP leader said.
