Make public list of Bangladeshi Swiss Bank depositors: BNP

BNP demanded the government make public the list of the Bangladeshis deposited money in Swiss Bank after an international inquiry.
“We strongly demand the formation of an international probe body and making public a list to clear it how many Bangladeshis have deposited how much money in the Swiss Bank,” BNP acting secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir told a protest meeting Sunday, according to a news agency.
The BNP leader came up with the remarks apparently reacting to the Prime Minister’s comment that the government has sought the list of those Bangladeshis deposited money in the Swiss Bank and would bring it back.
Taking part in the general discussion on the new budget for fiscal 2014-15 in Parliament  Saturday, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said, “We’ve sought the list of the Bangladeshis deposited money in Swiss Bank. We’ll bring the money back…we’ll spend the money for the country’s development.”
Justifying his demand for an international probe body, Fakhrul said the fact over the deposition of money by the ruling party leaders in the Swiss Bank will not come out if the government carries out any investigation into it.
Shahbagh thana BNP arranged the programme protesting the enforced disappearance of its leader Chowdhury Alam four years back demanding the government trace him out immediately.
Fakhrul said the ruling party leaders by plundering public money bought houses in different countries, including the USA, Canada and Malaysia and deposited in the Swiss Bank.
