Bangladesh
BNP leaders urge action against corruption suspects in party
2009-05-20
Good luck with that ...
Leaders of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party on Tuesday demanded that the partys chairperson, Khaleda Zia, take action regarding corruption suspects in the party.

They called on her to quickly and firmly reorganise the party by placing honest, dedicated and tested leaders at the forefront. They also criticised the government for the latters submissive attitude to neighbouring India which is preparing to construct a multipurpose barrage across Barak River in Tipaimukh, which is upstream of Surma and Kushiara rivers of Bangladesh.

‘You need not pay heed to the judgment, if any, of the Supreme Court. You must take action against the person whom you believe to be corrupt, said BNPs joint secretary-general Mirza Abbas at a discussion held at the Institute of Diploma Engineers. ‘You have a tough time ahead as conspiracies are brewing in the party.
All by people who want their share of the boodle, and maybe the bejeweled turban ...
Gayeshwar Chandra Roy, another joint secretary-general, said, ‘The people will be happy if you take action against corruption suspects [in the party], no matter what their number is.

‘Why should you feel pity for us if we commit any offence when the Anti-Corruption Commission failed to prove that you are a corrupt person despite its all-out attempts? he questioned.

Abbas and Gayeshwar urged Khaleda to identify the leaders whose loyalty to the BNP was unquestioned while reorganising the party. Gayeshwar said that many BNP members lack the ideals of Zia. ‘A genuine follower of Zia cannot be greedy for hundreds of mansions and cars.

Khaledas adviser ASM Hannan Shah stressed the need for quick reorganisation of the party with a firm hand by placing honest, dedicated and tested leaders at the forefront.

Chittagong city BNP convenor Syed Wahidul Alam, Juba Dal president Barkat Ullah Bulu and general secretary Syed Moazzem Hossain Alal stressed the need to keep the party free from conflicts of interest between the leaders.

#1  Kinda like the Democrats - promote those loyal to the Party, whether they're decent, law-abiding citizens or not.

Any person that puts Party ahead of their Nation is a tyrant. They may not believe they are, and will probably denounce those that shine a light on them, but they are tyrants. That's why the Russian Communist party could maintain control of Russia for so long - only one party, and only party members could be elected to office. Also, only party members got any of the goodies. That's one reason I won't belong to either the Dummycheats or the Repuglycons. That's also why Sarah Palin is a threat to the Republican establishment - she's more committed to the electorate that support her than the party she belongs to.
