Moudud under fire for his book
BNP leader Rizvi Ahmed today came down heavily upon Moudud Ahmed for his new book in which he said party chief Khaleda Zia was mainly busy to save her two sons during the army-backed caretaker government.
Terming Moudud as a leader who "somersaults and breaks away from the party," Rizvi said a book of a man without ideology would not carry any value to them.
The reaction came at a press briefing a day after release of “Bangladesh: Emergency and the Aftermath 2007-2008,” written by Moudud, BNP’s standing committee member and a former law minister.
Moudud wrote the book while he was in jail during the army-backed caretaker government in 2007-2008.
Rizvi said that he could not understand whether Moudud wrote the book to make anyone happy or to save himself or his house. He is in politics for a long time but when his personal issues come, he makes such comments, said Rizvi.
Moudud in his reaction said he has expressed his personal observations in his book, which have no link to his party’s politics.
“I write books as a political scientist, not as a politician. I try to write history of the country authentically in all my books,” he added.
Moudud was speaking at a press briefing on the Supreme Court premises.
Moudud told newsmen that he described in the book the reasons behind his party’s failures.
BNP will again come to power if it learns lessons from the mistakes, which were mentioned in the book, he added.
The former law minister said in the book he has elaborated how the present government came to power with the assistance of the interim administration led by Moeen U Ahmed and Fakhruddin Ahmed.
