Pro-BNP professional’s leader Emajuddin Ahamed has demanded a judicial investigation into Salahuddin Ahmed’s arrest in India terming the arrest of the party leader as ‘dirty drama by the government’.
In a discussion on Friday the formal Dhaka University VC said, “The government is trying to play dirty drama over the resurfacing of Salahuddin Ahmed which is unreal and unbelievable.”
“People do not believe such dirty drama,” he added.
He also raised a question saying “who took Ahmed to India?”
“The government should form a judicial investigation committee to publish names of the places Salahuddin was taken to and say under what circumstances he was taken to a mental hospital in Shillong,” he urged the government.
Salahuddin, a former state minister of a BNP government, went missing from Dhaka on March 10. His family had since been alleging that he had been abducted by lawmen, who have always denied the claim. When the BNP leader went missing, he was acting as the spokesperson of the party from underground.
Asked whether she had talked to her husband after the first call, Hasina Ahmed, a former lawmaker herself, said that she could not because Salahuddin is now staying at a different hospital.
Local police in Shillong took the BNP leader to a mental hospital because he was acting weirdly when they had found him on Monday morning in the city. Later, he was transferred to a civil hospital as she showed signs of improvement.
Asaduzzaman Ripon, BNP’s current spokesperson, told reporters at a briefing at their Nayapaltan office that the party would not say anything in this regard because Salahuddin’s wife had been talking to media.
The BNP has also been alleging since the beginning that law enforcers in plainclothes had picked up Salahuddin.
The BNP leader on Wednesday also told Indian media that he was kidnapped by people he did not know and had no idea how he ended up in Shillong, an Indian hill station on the Bangladesh border.
