BNP leader Salahuddin Ahmed’s wife has sought the prime minister’s intervention to trace her husband.
She went to the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) on Thursday to seek Sheikh Hasina’s appointment.
“I have come to request the prime minister to take steps to find my husband. She’s also a mother, a wife, like me and she will understand my pain,” Hasina Ahmed later told reporters.
BNP Joint Secretary General Salahuddin Ahmed was functioning as party’s spokesperson after the
arrests of acting Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir and Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Ahmed Rizvi.
Statements signed by Ahmed, from an undisclosed location, were being circulated to the media.
Accompanied with her brother and sister-in-law, Hasina Ahmed arrived at the PMO around11:30am.
She handed over a memorandum to officials at the documents-receiving wing of the PMO.
“If my husband has committed any offence or if there’s a case against him, then he should be produced before the court and tried in due process,” it reads.
Former Cox’s Bazar MP and state minister Salahuddin had served as an assistant private secretary to Khaleda during her 1991-96 tenure when he was a junior civil servant. Hasina Ahmed, also a former MP, moved the court, seeking the whereabouts of her husband. But the law-enforcers told the court that he was not arrested. The court has set April 8 for the next hearing.
