Kader Siddique asks govt to step down on graft charges
Krishak Sramik Janata League President Abdul Kader Siddique today called upon the government to step down as many ruling Awami League men are found to be involved in corruption.
“If Awami League consists of so many corrupts, it has no right to stay in power. Besides, it’s not a democratic government as it has not been voted to power by people,” he said.
The veteran politician made the remarks while speaking at a press conference in Dhaka’s Jatiya Press Club. The Janata League organised the event to express the party’s opinion on the recent drives against corruption and the current political scenario.
“We support the drives. But if it’s just to show off, we will withdraw our support,” said Kader, also a valiant freedom fighter.
He urged the government to find out corrupt people from all sectors -- including administration and stock market -- and bring them to justice, instead of suspending or intimidating them.
“Without favour and patron of the administration, there is no chance that gambling and casino culture can flourish in the centre of the capital. The beneficiaries of these still remain behind the shadow,” Kader said.
Calling upon the prime minister to sit in a dialogue immediately, the Janata League president said, “The country is now in a crisis… Dialogues is a must to protect it.”
