TIB finds AL-BNP organisational ‘weakness’ disastrous for country

Executive Director of Transparency International Bangladesh (TIB) Dr Iftekharuzzaman on Sunday said the organisational weakness of two major political parties – Awami League (AL) and BNP --- is gradually pushing the country towards disaster. He made the remarks at a views-exchange meeting with members of TIB’s volunteer groups -- Sanak (Sachetan Nagarik Committee) and YES (Youth Engagement and Support) -- at Sanak office in Faridpur district. The TIB executive director said though Awami League looks very powerful, the way it rules the country, its organisational base is very vulnerable. “Its grassroots leaders and activists are angry and frustrated.” Besides, a clique of sycophants who move on the corridor of power is making huge money through plundering and corruption, he alleged, according to a news agency.
