Matin denies govt role in making or breaking parties
Unb, Dhaka
Communications Adviser Major General (retd) MA Matin Matin yesterday said the government was not aware of the basis of Awami League chief Sheikh Hasina's allegation that military intelligence is engaged in making and breaking political parties."I don't know about its basis... The government does not know anything about it, and this is the reality," he said while talking to reporters at his ministry. Matin again rejected the allegation that the government has link with the splitting of political parties. Rather, he said, political party leaders are seeking reforms following difference of opinion among them. The adviser said they are not running government to give any favour to any party but for the welfare of the people. He said the incumbent caretaker government did not impose the emergency. "We've assumed office after the declaration of the state of emergency." He, however, said the emergency will be withdrawn if the situation is created. On corruption cases, Matin, who is also the chairman of the National Coordination Committee to deal with major corruption and serious crimes, said special courts have been set up for trying the corrupt. He claimed remarkable progress in different sectors in the last six months under the caretaker government.
