To aid those impacted by Cyclone Remal, the Amar Bangladesh Party, or AB Party, called for the assets of former army head General Aziz Ahmed and inspector general of police Benazir Ahmed to be seized.
According to a news release, the party leaders made the request on Friday during a protest march in the Bijoynagar neighborhood of the city.
They claimed that despite the ruling regime’s claims to be fostering the spirit of the liberation struggle, they are actually the primary factor opposing the spirit of our independence. Under the guise of democracy, they have erected an oligarchic system of government and a plundering system like to that of Lord Clive.
Speaking at the function, AB Party convener AFM Solaiman Chowdhury said that as the former army chief broke his fiduciary duty and committed crimes while utilizing his position, he should be tried under both criminal and armed forces law.
The leader of the AB Party further demanded that Benazir Ahmed’s alleged certificate of honesty, which had previously been issued by the Awami League government, be withdrawn.
In addition, he insisted that by July 31st of this year, the National Board of Revenue publish a public mandate listing the holdings of all army officers, ministers, lawmakers, bureaucrats, and prominent businessmen and entrepreneurs.
He protested the misuse of billions of dollars for the purpose of building and maintaining coastal embankments. “The government does not feel any responsibility for the lives of the poor coastal people affected by the recent cyclone.”
According to Mojibur Rahman Manju, the Awami League government has produced hundreds of individuals like to Benazir and Aziz during the past 16 years. In exchange for providing them with the chance to amass illicit fortune, the government has demanded unlawful and unconstitutional services from them. The general populace is currently in a terrible predicament as a result.He brought up the claims that 8,000 fictitious freedom fighters had been registered and that millions of dollars’ worth of freedom fighter allowance had been embezzled. The Awami League is the primary force opposing the nation’s independence and sovereignty, despite their claims to be creating the spirit of a liberation fight.
Asaduzzaman Fuaad expressed his condolences to the victims of Cyclone Remal and voiced his concerns about the significant number of deaths that occurred in 19 districts, affecting animals in the mangrove forest, cattle, crops, fisheries, and properties, all despite the world’s advanced weather forecasting system—which, regrettably, we lack.
A protest procession that went through the communities of Paltan, Vijayanagar, Nayapaltan, Kakrail, and Segunbagicha came after the rally.
