Hanif reveals Khaleda whitened Tk 1,33,14,710 in black money for 2002-07 fiscal years
Dhaka, May 9 (UNB) - Contrary to BNP secretary general Khandaker Delwar Hossain’s claim, acting general secretary of Awami League Mahbubul Alam Hanif revealed Sunday that BNP chairperson Khaldea Zia whitened black money of Tk 1,33,14,710 by paying Tk 33,87,025 as fine and taxes for 2002-2007 fiscal years.
In a recent statement, Delwar defended Khaleda Zia saying that she did not whiten any black money after Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina had said in a meeting at Barguna that Khaleda Zia, her two sons and late Finance Minister M Saifur Rahman whitened their black money.
Briefing the newsmen at the Awami League President’s Dhanmondi office, Hanif gave out detailed statistics including ex-Prime Minister Khaleda Zia’s Tax Identification Number (TIN) 0531023586.
Khaleda Zia paid the amount as fine and taxes against her total undisclosed income of Tk 1,33,14,710 that she did not disclose earlier, he said, and gave a 5-year break-up of the amount paid as fine and taxes.
The AL acting general secretary said Khaleda Zia whitened her black money by taking advantage of the past caretaker government’s SRO (No 98) issued on August 6, 2007.
He said they have noticed with grave concern that the BNP chairperson, her secretary general and other party leaders are “giving out false, baseless and fictitious statements to spread malice” against the present government and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
“If such false propaganda does not stop, people will again throw the BNP-Jamaat into political dustbin as in the 2008 general elections.”
Replying to a question, Hanif said anyone, irrespective of party affiliation, who had committed crimes against humanity, would be brought to justice.
He accused the BNP of creating obstructions in a bid to foil the war crimes trial process.
