The following is the statement from Sheikh Hasina and her family members regarding the recent sentence issued against them in a land-corruption case
—-
We firmly deny all allegations of corruption, with each charge brought against us tainted by the political motivations of our opponents. The ACC is under the control of an unelected government, armed with slanted and partial evidence and which prevented any opportunity to defend ourselves. This government is one that has consistently undermined the institutions of Bangladesh, with an unconstitutional ban that disenfranchises millions of ordinary Bangladeshis.
This allegations are obviously malicious, politically motivated and without any proper foundation, but what is even more disappointing is that the Interim Government is trying to implicate and involve innocent family members who are not in any way involved in politics.
The ACC would be better employed investigating the ongoing cronyism and widespread corruption by those currently holding power. Until Bangladesh has a government that is elected with the consent of the people, and endowed with the authority to maintain our institutions, our country’s pattern of corruption will not be resolved.
