Acting Awami League General Secretary Mahbubul Alam Hanif on Sunday said BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia whitened Tk 1.33 crore and paid Tk 33.87 lakh in penalty from 2002-03 to 2006-07 fiscal years.He disclosed the statistics in response to some senior BNP leaders' claim that there was no evidence of whitening illegal money by Khaleda.At a press conference at the AL president's political office in Dhanmondi, Hanif described the BNP leaders' claims as 'blatant lies.'
BNP's Senior Joint Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Friday rejected Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's claim that Khaleda whitened black money.BNP Secretary General Khandaker Delwar had said Hasina's remarks were 'absolutely untrue and ill-motivated.'
Hanif at the press conference urged opposition leaders to behave properly and use their sense of responsibility to make any comment.
In the public meeting at Barguna on last Thursday Sheikh Hasina alleged that Khaleda and her two sons had whitened black money in the past.
