Tarique, Koko ruined themselves by their misdeeds: Quamrul
Saturday, 25 June 2011
State Minister for Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Advocate Quamrul Islam Friday said both the sons of late president Ziaur Rahman and BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia have ruined themselves by their misdeeds while their mother was in power, reports BSS.
"None is to blame for their present status as both sons of Zia family have ruined themselves. And the law has taken its own course," he said at a discussion held at the Public Library in the city.
Advocate Quamrul said both Tarique Rahman and Arafat Rahman Koko laundered crores of taka outside Bangladesh and those have been unearthed through investigations by national and international agencies. The court has also been convinced about Koko's involvement in money laundering and sentenced him to six years imprisonment in abstentia Thursday.
The state minister bitterly criticized BNP politics and said they have been again trying to instigate another one-eleven in future in the name of hartal and other so-called democratic movements. He urged BNP chairperson to stop, what he said, politics of destruction and conspiracy and return to parliament to realise their demands.
He said the caretaker government has been proved obsolete and its time to go back to the system practised all over the world. He said the present government has proved its credibility through holding municipality, union parishad and parliamentary by-elections without any interference.
