`My eviction was illegal`, claims Moudud

UNB, Dhaka :
BNP senior leader Moudud Ahmed on Thursday said that his was Gulshan house has been grabbed illegally using muscle power as there was no court order to evict him.
“It’s mentioned nowhere in the court verdict that I would have to be evicted from the house. My house was grabbed illegally, forcibly and with muscle power like a shoal is grabbed. This is a serious human rights violation,” he said.
Moudud, a BNP standing committee member, was responding to queries from reporters at a press conference at the Supreme Court Bar Association auditorium.
On June 7, Rajdhahi Unnayan Kartripakkha (Rajuk) took over the BNP leader’s Gulshan house after the Appellate Division of the
 Supreme Court dismissed two petitions filed by him seeking a review of its earlier verdict scrapping his possession of the property.
Moudud also claimed that many Awami League leaders were saying many things about him without going through the court verdict.
The BNP leader said many of his souvenirs he collected throughout his life went missing. “I haven’t found many things like thousand-year-old Egyptian clay pot.”
Mentioning that many memories of his two late sons had been mingled with the house, he said those were destroyed. “I’m in such a situation as I belong to an opposition party.”
Asked where he is staying now, Moudud said he has a flat. “Now we’re lying on the floor as all the cots were damaged. I hope I’ll be able to lie on cots again once those were repaired.”
The lawyers’ panel of Moudud arranged the press conference to brief reporters on his eviction from the Gulshan house.
It was said at the news conference that neither the government nor Rajuk has the authority to evict the BNP leader from the house as the heirs of Austrian citizen Inge Faltz own the house.
It was also said no list of valuables was made before those were removed and many things went missing.
