Mohiuddin 'kept mum' during Monjur's tenure: Nasir
Criticising Chittagong City unit Awami League President ABM Mohiuddin Chowdhury for his stance against reassessment of holding tax, incumbent city Mayor AJM Nasir Uddin said the former was not vocal against the same move during the tenure of immediate past mayor M Monjur Alam.
"Those who are delivering misleading speeches over reassessment (of holding tax) this time were mysteriously silent on the issue during the tenure of former mayor M Monjur Alam," Nasir, also the general secretary of city AL unit, said in a statement issued yesterday night.
The statement reads: "Though I am the general secretary, several meetings were convened at the residence of city unit president (Mohiuddin) over holding tax without informing me. I think this goes against the party constitution."
The mayor also claimed not to have received any specific complaint over the reassessment so far.
"I tried to convince several times that a mayor is to act within the law about which former mayors are well-informed," he said, brushing aside the allegation that the decision of reassessment was motivated to embarrass the government.
