An allegation has been raised of appointing a fertilizer dealer irregularly in Aditmari, Lalmonirhat, in exchange for a bribe of 15 lakh taka. District and upazila BNP leaders have demanded an investigation and cancellation of the appointment over this incident.
This allegation was made at a press conference held on Thursday afternoon at a business establishment in the Saptibari Bazar area. In the written statement, Saptibari Union BNP President Monayem Siddique Milon alleged that Zohura Begum, mother of Chhatra Shakti Lalmonirhat district branch member secretary Abdullahil Kafi and proprietor of M/S Abdullah Traders, was appointed as a fertilizer dealer after taking a bribe of 15 lakh taka.
He further stated that Zohura Begum has no own godown or warehouse for storing fertilizers and no prior business experience. As she belongs to the family of the local Saptibari Union Awami League president, it has caused anger among local activists. The press conference strongly demanded the immediate cancellation of this illegal appointment and the selection of a genuine and qualified businessman.
