Download PDF The Awami League (AL)-led 14-party opposition combine in its reaction to the verdict in the graft case against HM Ershad yesterday said the ‘corrupt’ BNP-Jamaat coalition government has failed to prove corruption charges against the deposed president because of its ‘dirty political game’.
AL General Secretary and Coordinator of the opposition line-up Abdul Jalil said said Ershad has been acquitted as part of the ongoing political game of the BNP-Jamaat coalition government.
“As the present government itself is corrupt from top to bottom, how could it combat corruption?” Jalil told The Daily Star when contacted.
Workers’ Party President and 14-party leader Rashed Khan Menon said court verdict is not needed to prove that Ershad a corrupt person. He is already known as a corrupt person, and the people gave this verdict much earlier.
AL Presidium Member and lawmaker Suranjit Sengupta said, “The alliance government has misused state power in the delivery of the judgement for political gains.”
Suranjit, a veteran parliamentarian, said the government played a partisan role in this regard, which will destroy the judiciary, he said.
Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal (JSD) President Hasanul Haque Inu said the government itself is corrupt. So, it has failed to prove the allegation against Ershad.
JAMAAT REACTION
Mohammad Qamaruzzaman, joint secretary general of the Jamaat, said it is not proper to comment on a court judgement. He however said the judgement ‘looks odd’ in the present political context.
“The opposition would have scope to criticise the government for this verdict.”
