Form commission to identify conspirators against Padma Bridge: HC

The High Court has directed the authorities concerned to constitute a commission to identify and probe the "conspirators" who are raising false allegations of corruption over the construction of Padma Bridge.

 

An HC bench comparising of Justice Md Nazrul Islam Talukder and Justice Kazi Md Ejarul Haque passed the order on Tuesday.

 

The HC has asked the authorities concerned to  form the inquiry commission by 30 days and submit the findings by 60 days after the formation of the body. 

 

Earlier on Monday, the HC raised the question that if there was no conspiracy then why would the World Bank suspend funding for the construction of Padma Bridge.

 

The court also remarked that those who conspired are anti-state and they have to be tracked down.

 

The same bench made the observations during a hearing of the rule asking the government why an inquiry commission should not be formed to detect the conspirators.
