Dhaka, Oct 29 (bdnews24.com) - BNP secretary general Khandaker Delwar Hossain was admitted to BIRDEM hospital after he fell sick Monday morning, but went missing from the hospital in the evening.

 

Nobody could say where Delwar had gone after he left the cabin No. 1523 to do some check-ups shortly after 6:00pm.

 

Several visitors to the hospital told bdnews24.com that Delwar had not been there.

Delwar is a diabetic with heart disease and kidney dysfunction.

bdnews24.com could not reach him on his cellphone late Monday.

Delwar was hospitalised after falling sick during a medical check-up, BNP acting office secretary Rizvi Ahmed said.

Akhteruzzaman alleges intelligence agents asked Delwar to give up BNP post

Dhaka, Oct 29 (bdnews24.com) – Former BNP MP Md Akhteruzzaman Monday claimed that two senior officials of an intelligence agency had asked party secretary general Khandaker Delwar Hossain to leave his post in 24 hours.

 

In a written statement to the media, he said the officials had allegedly asked Delwar to go to the house of former finance minister M Saifur Rahman by 7:30pm Monday and declare Saifur the party's acting chairperson and Abdul Mannan Bhuiyan secretary general.

But Akhteruzzaman, himself a former military officer, did not specify which intelligence agency the officials belong to.

 

Retired major Akhteruzzaman confirmed that he had sent out the press statement when bdnews24.com contacted him.

 

The former MP, whom the BNP expelled for his outspoken criticism of party leadership, also alleged that the intelligence agents had threatened to kill Delwar unless he complied with the order.

 

The officials went to Delwar's home Sunday, he said.

Delwar, last seen in BIRDEM hospital Monday evening, could not be reached immediately for his version of events.

 

"They not only threatened the secretary general but aimed verbal abuse at me. If necessary, they will even kill me for helping Delwar," he said.

 

Akhteruzzaman told bdnews24.com by phone that he was not present when the officials arrived at Delwar's NAM flat on city's Manik Miah Avenue, but that his statement was based on what Delwar said to him.

 

The officials allegedly told Delwar that "Begum Khaleda Zia will not be allowed anymore to do politics on the soil of Bangladesh", the statement said.

Akhteruzzaman sought intervention from the army chief and said people expected "rule of law".

 

"Nobody is above the law," he said.

"It's not the job of an intelligence agency or officials of such agency to decide who will be the party's secretary general, the president or who will do politics," said Akhteruzzaman, former MP from Kishoreganj-2 constituency.

 

"Everything has a limit. I think government officials—military or civilian—should not stretch the limits of responsibilities, nor should they go out of their way."

 

bdnews24.com contacted information adviser Mainul Hosein for comment.

Mainul only said: "I would not comment on it as I did not read the statement."

BREAKING NEWS
Saifur acting BNP chief, Hafiz secretary general  
Tue, Oct 30th, 2007 12:45 am BdST
 
 
Dhaka, Oct 29 (bdnews24.com) -- Former finance minister M Saifur Rahman announced Monday he had been made acting chief of the BNP and Hafiz Uddin Ahmed had been appointed acting secretary general, in a major turn of events in the troubled party.

The announcement came from Saifur's press briefing after a late-night meeting of senior BNP leaders at his Gulshan home.

 

In a written statement, Saifur said: "I have been made the acting chief of the party in the absence of the BNP chairperson because I am the most senior leader of the party."

The decision taken at the BNP standing committee's meeting will be sent to BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia for approval.

"The BNP's standing committee has faith in the ideology of Shaheed Zia [former president and BNP founder Ziaur Rahman] and in the leadership of Khaleda Zia," Saifur said.

"The BNP will fight a legal battle for the freedom of Khaleda Zia," he said, of the former prime minister who has been detained in special jail since September 3.

The meeting also scrapped Khaleda's decision on the expulsions of Abdul Mannan Bhuiyan, Ashraf Hossain and Mofiqul Hasan Tripti from the party.

Khandaker Delwar Hossain was earlier installed by Khaleda as secretary general, replacing Mannan Bhuiyan.

 

Both remain members of the standing committee, according to the latest decision.

Delwar was relieved of all responsibilities as secretary general for "health reasons", according to the meeting decision, said Saifur.

 

Bhuiyan was the last to arrive at the meeting. Chowdhury Tanveer Ahmed Siddiqui, RA Gani, Khandaker Mahbubuddin Ahmed, Mahbubur Rahman and M Shamsul Islam were among the senior leaders who attended the meeting.

 

BNP's acting office secretary Rizvi Ahmed opposed the new move, in an instant reaction.

"This decision is undemocratic and ill-motivated," he told bdnews24.com.
