Andaleeve seeks commission on recovering laundered money
"I said a commission named - Laundered Money Recovery- should be formed," Partha told reporters after a dialogue with Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus on Thursday (17 October)
Bangladesh Jatiyo Party Chairman Andaleeve Rahman Partha has proposed forming a commission on "Laundered Money Recovery" to bring stolen money back from abroad.
He said financial corruption is one of the crimes committed by the Awami League government apart from killing people and destroying democracy in Bangladesh.
"I said a commission named - Laundered Money Recovery- should be formed," Partha told reporters after a dialogue with Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus on Thursday (17 October).

He said stolen money can be recovered from the countries like United Kingdom, Dubai (United Arab Emirates), and Singapore where huge money was laundered.
Partho said those who were involved in "mass killings" should be kept out of any election.
He, however, said international standards must be maintained in dealing with cases in the International Crimes Tribunal.
The BJP Chief said 45 names were not disclosed in a case though the accused have the right to know what kind of case is filed.
Nationalist Democratic Movement (NDM) founder Bobby Hajjaj conveyed to the Chief Adviser that an election could be held in June next year or after that.
"We think the election can easily be possible in June 2025 or after June," he told reporters after his party meets with the Chief Adviser.
Bobby said the interim government is required to try accordingly.
Briefing the reporters at the Foreign Service Academy, Chief Adviser's Special Assistant Mahfuj Alam on Saturday evening said the reform works and election-centric preparation will continue simultaneously.
He said the government will form a search committee following the existing law to constitute a new Election Commission for taking forward the relevant activities to hold the next national election.
The Chief Adviser also held a dialogue with political parties, including Liberal Democrats Party, Gono Forum, Jatiyatabadi Samamana Jote, 12 parties, Jatiya Mukti Council, Labour Party, and Bangladesh Jasad at the state guesthouse Jamuna.
