| 2009-05-06 |
| [Bangla Daily Star] A parliamentary sub-committee, probing alleged corruption of former speaker Jamiruddin Sircar, yesterday recommended revocation of his membership in the parliament for 'massive financial graft involving moral turpitude'. The sub-committee also recommended filing of criminal cases against former deputy speaker Akhtar Hamid Siddiqui, and former chief whip Khandaker Delwar Hossain for misappropriation of public money. The all-party main probe committee decided yesterday to summon the accused three before it, for giving them a chance to defend themselves. |
