Hurried formation of probe body against Sircar reflects ill motive of govt: Delwar
Saturday, 21 March 2009
BNP secretary general Khondoker Delwar Hossain Friday said formation of the parliamentary inquiry committee against former Speaker Barrister Zamir Uddin Sircar ahead of by-election was not a correct and logical decision, reports UNB.
Talking to journalists at his Armanitola residence in old Dhaka, he said Sircar is contesting the parliamentary by-election from Bogra-6 constituency and formation of any such inquiry committee is to 'mislead' the voters.
"Hurried formation of the inquiry committee reflects ill motive of the government," Delwar said.
Speaker Abdul Hamid Thursday constituted an 11-member parliamentary inquiry committee to investigate irregularities and corruption at the Parliament Secretariat during the tenure of Speaker Sircar.
Delwar said Sircar and BNP demanded inquiry against all Speakers since 1972, but the present Speaker said audit would be done against all Speakers. "It is discriminatory to carry out inquiry against one Speaker and audit against others."
