A legal notice has been sent to initiate investigation under relevant sections of the ACC and Money Laundering Act against all MPs elected in the last three national parliamentary elections of the Sheikh Hasina-led Awami League government and the Election Commissioners (ECs) deployed in the elections.

On Sunday (October 27), Supreme Court lawyer Md. Anwarul Islam (Shahin) sent this notice to the Chairman of the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).

বিজ্ঞাপন

It said that 153 MPs were elected unopposed in the 2014 elections. The elections in 2018 were held in the dark of night and the 2024 elections were rigged internally, where almost all the MPs were people who were the favorites of fascist Hasina or were her subordinates. In order to reform the state, all the perpetrators of misdeeds and their associates, including the elections held in the last 15 years of the failed government, must be brought under the law.

It is further said that especially in the farcical elections of 2014, 2018 and 2019, the members of parliament elected without votes or through vote theft, the ministers of the Hasina government, the members of parliament elected from parties supporting the Awami League such as the Jatiya Party and the 14-party alliance, and the election commissioners involved in those elections have misused their power and amassed a huge amount of illegal wealth. The countrymen firmly believe that the majority of that wealth has been smuggled abroad. In this situation, notices have been given to start investigation and proceedings within three working days under the relevant sections of the ACC and the Money Laundering Act against all the members of parliament elected through conspiracy in those general elections and all the election commissioners involved. Failure to do so will result in legal action.
