Salahuddin\\\'s wife to seek PM\\\'s intervention
Wednesday, 18 March 2015
BNP leader Salahuddin Ahmed's wife says she will soon seek Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's intervention to help find her husband since the law enforcers were 'not cooperating', reports bdnews24.com.
Hasina Ahmed, a former reserve quota MP, told reporters Tuesday that they were passing through a "difficult phase" since Salahuddin's disappearance.
"We're passing our days in great anxiety," she said at her Gulshan home. "I'll soon appeal to the prime minister to get my husband back."
Plainclothesmen picked up BNP Joint Secretary General Salahuddin from a house in Uttara on Mar 10, his family claims.
But security forces have denied having either detained or arrested him.
BNP chief Khaleda Zia had in a media briefing blamed the government for the alleged disappearance but the prime minister claimed the BNP was behind the incident.
Salahuddin, a former MP from Cox's Bazar, served as an assistant personal secretary to Khaleda during her 1991-96 term in office when he was a junior civil servant.
His wife said, "If my husband committed any crime, please produce him in court and try him."
After BNP's Organising Secretary and its Sylhet unit chief M Ilias Ali went missing in 2012, his wife met and sought the prime minister's intervention. But his whereabouts still remain unknown.
Salahuddin's wife has moved the High Court seeking information on his whereabouts. A hearing on her plea is scheduled for Apr 8.
"The law enforcers are not helping us wholeheartedly to get my husband back. Only one sub-inspector of Special Branch met me yesterday (Monday) since the incident eight days ago," she claimed.
