BNP and AL
Sheikh Hasina has said that she has no objection to TIB's recommendation that she, as the opposition leader, declare her wealth but would only do so provided the Prime Minister does the same. The Awami League itself is crying hoarse and blaming the present government for all corruption that made Bangladesh top the TI corruption index for the fifth time. Both BNP and Awami League leaders, if they are serious about stamping out corruption, should go ahead with declaration of their wealth and participate in elections if their names are cleared of corruption charges/accusations. This would help erase the public perception that our leaders are corrupt.
As both have corruption charges against their names, this is the right time to sort out the matter.
