They alleged that the former lawmaker allotted two tones of rice and CI sheets each to Naobaspur Islami Kalyan Parishad, Sreerampur-Komorpur Samaj Kalyan Parishad and Bisnupur Samaj Kalyan Parishad; one tonne rice and CI sheets to Parulgachha Islami Pathagar; one tonne rice and CI sheets each to Parulgachha Zia Smriti Sangsad, Chachai Zia Sangsad, Nilkanthapur Islami Saaj Kalyan Parishad, Hogla Islami Pathagar and Faridpur Shahid Ali Mostafa Smriti Pathagar; CI sheets to Faridpur Islami Kalyan Parishad, Faridpur Samaj Kalyan Parishad, Noubazpur Zia Parishad and Nilkanthapur Zia Parishad and Mukundapur Sanapara Samaj Kalyan Parishad; one tonne rice each to Bandakati Gazipara Shahid Zia Smriti Pathagar, Chowmuhuni Islami Kalyan Parishad and Renesa Pathagar in Kaligonj upazila.
Most of the allotted rice and CI sheets were misappropriated by local leaders and activists of the 4-party alliance as these organisations existed in name only, they said in the complaints.
They also alleged that Kaligonj Upazila Project Implementation officer (PIO) was also involved in the irregularities.
On contact, the Kaligonj PIO denied the allegation and said he had nothing to do because he made the allotments as per lists prepared by Kazi Alauddin
Kazi Alauddin refuted the allegation and said he allotted those as per government rules.
"Some vested quarters are trying to tarnish my image by making false allegations", he said.
