BNP sent a letter to the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) on Monday demanding investigation into the allegations of corruption against the ruling party leaders.
BNP joint secretary general Syed Moazzem Hossain Alal along with the opposition party’s assistant office secretary Taiful Islam Tipu went to the ACC office around 1pm and handed over the letter to the authorities concerned.
Earlier, speaking at a press conference at BNP Chairperson’s Gulshan Office, party secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir alleged that the ACC is not taking into cognizance the probe reports into various incidents of corruption.
“Rather, they’re trying to hush up those matters. So, we’ve decided in the highest forum of our party that we will write to the Anti-Corruption Commission requesting them to investigate the incidents of graft,” Fakhrul said.
