AL looted thousand crores: Khaleda

 BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia on Tuesday alleged that the Awami League led government has looted thousand crores of money from share markets and various public and private organizations. The BNP chief made the allegations while addressing a rally at Niaz Mohammad High School ground in Brahmanbaria this afternoon. “BNP is blamed for corruption, but in reality corruption increases when Awami League comes to power,” she said. Condemning the chief of Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) for the ongoing killing incidents across the country, Khaleda Zia demanded his immediately arrest. “I do not understand: how can the RAB chief still hold his position in the elite force? He should be terminated and arrested immediately for the ongoing killing and forced disappearance incidents across the country,” she said. The former PM said: “We formed RAB in order to prevent terrorism in the country. But, the present government is using the force to serve its political interests.” “The Awami League government has used RAB in killing 310 leaders and activists of our alliance. They also abducted some 56 members of the coalition,” she added. She also threatened to launch a tougher movement if the government does not crap the judge impeachment bill. “We have observed only a one-day nationwide hartal in protest against the judge impeachment bill. Please scrap the bill. Otherwise we will launch all necessary programmes against it,” Khaleda warned. – risingbd.com
