Probe body to find people responsible for BNP's debacle
Says Bhuiyan


BNP Secretary General Abdul Mannan Bhuiyan said an enquiry committee would be formed to identify those people who are responsible for the current debacle of the party.

He also hoped that the party would be forever freed from efforts to establish dynasty, corruption, nomination trade and autocracy through the implementation of the reforms proposal and urged those who believe in Ziaur Rahman's ideology to work together in favour of the reforms proposal.

"An enquiry committee has to be formed for taking actions against those people who are responsible for the current disaster in the party," he said yesterday at a press briefing.

Asked when the enquiry committee would be formed, Bhuiyan said, "Soon."

He said followers of president Zia are facing new challenges. The past glory of the party has to be reinstated, he added.

"Competent, honest and dedicated leaders and workers have to take the place of corrupt and incompetent ones," he said adding that competence, honesty and dedication should be valued, not blind loyalty or black money.

The BNP secretary general said, "The failure to hold the January 22 elections brought the disaster in the party but the honest and dedicated leaders and workers of grassroots level still do not know who were responsible for this."

"Those should be identified who brought disaster by misusing power, being arrogant, being involved in criminal activities, making mistakes, being involved in corruption and nepotism," he said.

He said the country witnessed a qualitative change in January 11 and the caretaker government saved the country from troubles as a civil war like situation was created due to the failure of political parties.
