AL draws flak

Allies in 14 parties blame AL infighting for worsening law and order

Partha Pratim Bhattacharjee
Some components of the Awami League-led alliance yesterday blamed the ruing party's infighting for worsening law and order in the country.
They recommended the party check corruption in different sectors or face the prospect of being isolated from people.
Speaking at a meeting of the 14-party combine at AL president Sheikh Hasina's Dhanmondi office, they expressed frustration at the state of the trial of war criminals and the Jamaat-e-Islami. The government's attitude to the trial has evil indications, they added.
Meeting sources said Zakir Hossain of Gonotantric Majdoor Party, Nazmul Haque Prodhan of Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal and Saidur Rahman of Gono Azadi League blamed AL infighting for deterioration in law and order. In this regard, they referred to the recent abductions and killings in Feni andNarayanganj.
The alliance partners asked the ruling party to resolve its internal feuds saying that the AL's infighting has put the government's credibility into disrepute and was making people aggravated. Responding to partners' concerns, AL presidium member Mohammad Nasim said the parly was aware of the problems and has been trying to resolve those.
The infighting within the ruling party has taken a turn for the worse recently. On May 20, Phulgazi upazila chairman and president of upazila AL Ekramul Haque was shot and burnt to death in broad daylight in Feni. Some parly men have already admitted to their involvement in the killing.
In Narayanganj, seven people, including an AL leader and a senior lawyer, were abducted and killed in late April. Primary investigations found links of some local party men to the incident. DISCUSSION ON BUDGET
Al the meeting chaired by Samyabadi Dal General Secretary Dilip Barua, alliance leaders expressed disappointment as the ruling parly did not discuss the 2014-15 national budget with the partners before placing it in parliament. The meeting decided that alliance leaders will hold a meeting with Finance Minister AMA Muhith.
Some leaders said implementation of the proposed budget is uncertain as it cannot be executed without ensuring good governance. They demanded increased allocation for agriculture, health and education sectors.
Referring to some recent remarks on war crimes trial by the law minister, Workers Parly Politburo member Anisur Rahman Mallik said completion of the trials of war criminals and Jamaat-e-Islami is uncertain.
Talking to The Daily Star, Anisur said the government's position on war crimes trial has been frustrating. "What we are reading in newspaper reports is not a good symptom. We are doubtful whether we will gel any verdict from tribunals shortly although the courts have completed trials of some suspected war criminals," he added.
