PM's request to Khaleda manifests crooked politics, says Nizami
Saturday, 4 April 2009
Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Matiur Rahman Nizami Friday said the Prime Minister's (PM) request to BNP chairperson and ex-PM
Khaleda Zia to relinquish her cantonment house is not only "crooked politics but also manifestation of a revengeful mindset," reports UNB.
"Such request is indecorous too," he said in a press statement, adding that the PM made the request in parliament on April 1 responding to an 'arranged' question.
Nizami said it was nothing but an ill effort to 'kill two birds in one shot' by announcing the construction of apartments for the families of the army officers killed in the BDR mutiny.
"Through this the PM not only embarrassed the wife of a martyred President but also embarrassed and humiliated family members of the martyred army officers killed brutally."
The Jamaat chief said if the PM and her government were sincere about giving houses or flats to the martyred army officers' families there was no dearth of appropriate places.
But without doing so, he said, the PM hurt both the sides by linking the proposal of constructing houses or flats with the eviction of another martyred family.
Nizami said Shaheed President Ziaur Rahman's family did not receive anything through application. He said the house was given as gift of the nation to the widow of a martyred President and his two minor sons on the basis of consensus of the then government, parliament and people.
He said by making appeal to return that gift the PM has humiliated people's emotion, aspiration and goodwill.
Such humiliation and embarrassment were a shame for the nation, the Jamaat chief said, expressing the hope that this matter would not be raised in future.
