Awami League Advisory Council member and former Railway Minister Suranjit Sengupta yesterday said an investigation team should be constituted at the instruction of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to take action under the service rule against those bureaucrats who had secret talks with BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia.
“Apart from discharging their official duties, officers of the Republic can never say anything outside. Action should be taken against them under the service rule if they had any secret talks. The state and its people want neutrality of the officers of the Republic. But, instead of maintaining their neutrality, some bureaucrats had a secret meeting with Khaleda Zia, which is tantamount to conspiracy,” he said.
Suranjit Sengupta, a senior parliamentarian of the ruling Awami League, said this while speaking as the chief guest at a discussion on current politics in the city. Bangabandhu Academy organised the discussion at the Liberation War Museum at Segunbagicha in the capital in memory of the first elected Mayor of Dhaka City Mohammad Hanif.
