Hasina's family used to push for new projects: Salman F Rahman

Salman F Rahman, former prime minister Sheikh Hasina's adviser on private industry and investment affairs, is giving sensational information one after another on remand after his arrest.

This businessman said, 'Sheikh Hasina's family members used to push for new projects. New projects mean bigger commissions. Sheikh Hasina knew everything about it. But he never did it.'

When Sheikh Hasina was in power, the information of S. Alam smuggling about one and a half lakh crore taka has also come up. Salman F Rahman said half of the money was given to Sheikh Rehana and Hasina's son Sajib Wazed Joy.

Recently, this information has come out in the report of a national daily of the country.

Citing Salman F Rahman, sources related to the investigation said that half of the one and a half lakh crore rupees smuggled out of the country through S Alam was given to Sheikh Rehana and Sajib Wazed Joy. These irregularities took place under the direct supervision of the then Governor of Bangladesh Bank, Abdur Rauf Talukder. But no one dared to speak about these issues. Not only the money laundering, but everyone was silent about S Alam despite taking away the country's eastern refinery, sugar mill.

Salman F Rahman is in the custody of the Dhaka Metropolitan Detective (DB) police since his arrest. The economic condition of the country has become so deplorable because of the excessive greed of the Sheikh family. It was always supported by some top people of the government. Many people have fallen while trying to convince Sheikh Hasina. Because, Salman F Rahman claimed that he always stuck to his own decision.

According to investigation sources, Salman F Rahman chose the state-owned Janata Bank for looting. So he used to appoint chairman and MD as per his choice. If he did not like, he would not allow the appointee to join the bank. Even if someone joins, he would force them to resign by alleging irregularities and corruption. Apart from this, the investigation officials questioned him about withdrawing about 7000 crore rupees from the bond. Those concerned with the investigation claim that he repeatedly avoided talking about illness.

Apart from this, those involved in the investigation claim that information has come to them that Salman F. Rahman has withdrawn Tk 2,250 crore through 'Sukuk' bonds. He forced the banks to buy these bonds. As the banks were not willing to invest in the first place, later circular was issued from Bangladesh Bank, so that the banks were forced to invest in bonds. However, Salman F Rahman is repeatedly avoiding questions on the excuse of his illness.

Former prime minister Sheikh Hasina's private industry and investment adviser Salman F Rahman and former law minister Anisul Haque were arrested on August 13 from the Sadarghat area of ​​the capital Dhaka.
