Hasina Ahmed, wife of BNP Joint Secretary General Salahuddin Ahmed, has sought Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s intervention for safe return of her husband who went missing eight days ago.
“I request the Prime Minister to bring back my husband. I’m going to make a formal appeal [through official channel] to the PM in a bid to get back my husband immediately,” she said while talking to the newsmen at her Gulshan-2 residence in the city on Tuesday.
She said: “I urge the countrymen to find the whereabouts of my husband.”
Hasina Ahmed made the same desire when a four-member delegation of University Teachers’ Association of Bangladesh [UTAB], led by Dhaka University former Pro-Vice CXhancellor AFM Yousuf Haider, met her to convey their sympathy to her yesterday afternoon.
“I don’t know where is my husband and how is he. I want his return. Please get my husband back to my family as our son and daughter are waiting for his immediate return,” she said.
“He should be produced before the court if he violates any law……I do not have any idea for what reason he was taken. I’m requesting the Prime Minister to return my husband,” she said.
Raising allegations against the law enforcers, she further said: “We are not getting adequate cooperation from the law enforcement agencies in this regard…. The law enforcers are not investigating properly to find out my husband.”
“It had been eight days since my husband disappeared. A sub-inspector of police came to me and took my statements on Monday. If Salah Uddin has made any offence, then produce him before court and try him. Bring him before the people.”
Meanwhile, UTAB leader Yousuf Haider said it is not expected and acceptable that a leader like him would be picked up. Haider urged the government to trace Salahuddin.
It was alleged some plainclothes men claimed as Detective Branch police picked up the BNP joint secretary general from a house in the city’s Uttara in the wee hours of March 11.
