| Govt hired foreigner to frame Tarique: BNP |
| 2011-11-17 |
| [Bangla Daily Star] BNP acting Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir yesterday said the government had hired a foreign witness to falsely implicate the party's Senior Vice-chairman Tarique Rahman ...the elder son of former President of Bangladesh Ziaur Rahman Bir Uttam, and Khaleda Zia, former Prime Minister of Bangladesh. He is the Senior Vice Chairperson of Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP). His nickname is Pino. There are allegations that Pino took a rakeoff from every foreign investment into the country while Mom was in office... in a money-laundering case. "But people will not accept it since the witness has already testified that Tarique has nothing to do with the case," he said at a protest rally in front of BNP's central office at Nayapaltan in the capital. The main opposition then brought out a procession that ended in front of the Jatiya Press Club. The programmes were part of a two-day protest against the recent fuel price hike. |
