Tarique serves legal notice on PM again

BNP Senior Vice Chairman Tarique Rahman yesterday served another legal notice on Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, asking her to withdraw the statement she made against him on December 1 last year regarding laundering money and leading a luxurious life abroad.
Barrister Mahbub Uddin Khokon sent the notice to the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) on behalf of Tarique, asking her to publicly express her "unconditional apology" for her statement within the next 15 days.
Earlier on January 2, Tarique sent the first legal notice to the premier asking her to publicly apologise for the statement within 28 days; the date expires today.
Receiving no response till yesterday, Tarique sent the notice for the second time.
The first legal notice mentioned that Hasina at a public rally at Moulvibazar last year said Tarique has property in London and he was leading a luxurious life there with laundered money.
Tarique, elder son of BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia, has been living in London for treatment since September 2008.
