The ruling Awami League thinks more undisclosed information related to "corruption" committed by BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia and her family will come out if the party (BNP) takes legal action against the National Board of Revenue (NBR), reports UNB.
"We don't have any problem if BNP takes legal action against NBR. Countrymen want to know the truth. We think more information of corruption will come out through the process," AL acting general secretary Mahbub-ul-Alam Hanif said at a press conference at the AL Dhanmondi office Friday.
The ruling party hosted the press conference, apparently to reply to the claims made by BNP chairperson at a divisional rally recently.
Accusing BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia of spread ing unrealistic and misleading information about the government, Hanif said: "Nobody can raise graft allegation against any Awami League lawmaker and minister during the last 17 months of the party's current tenure."
Sharply reacting to Khaleda Zia's speech at her Barisal public rally, he alleged that Khaleda and her two sons were involved in corruption and looting through creating Hawa Bhaban.
"See your face in the mirror first and then make comments (against others)," he said indicating BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia.
