ACC challenges Khaleda\\\'s claim

The Anti Corruption Commission (ACC) has dared BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia to prove that it is corrupt. Commissioner M Shahabuddin Chuppu claimed that the constitutional institution is working independently and neutrally. Khaleda, accused in several corruption cases, dubbed it ‘corrupt’ and blamed it for implicating opposition leaders in cases, while letting ruling party activists off the hook. Speaking at a discussion in the city, Chuppu said, ‘The chief of a political party, who’s also a former prime minister, has been recently deriding the ACC by dubbing it ‘corrupt commission’ and ‘indemnity commission’. ‘I’d like to challenge (her to prove it) and she won’t be able to prove (her claims),’ Chuppu said, according to a news agency.
