Khaleda for disclosing names of Swiss Bank depositors

Senior Reporter: Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) Chairperson Khaleda Zia has asked the government to make public the names of those who have deposited money in Swiss banks.

Khaleda said this while inaugurating BNP’s countrywide member collection campaign at her Gulshan office in the city on Saturday.

“Some Tk 55 billion (Tk 5,500 crore) was siphoned out of the country this year. Bangladesh is said to be a poor country whereas its people keep money in Swiss banks. Whose money is this? We must know their names,” said Khaleda.

“I want to know who have kept money in the Swiss banks. We should know who has kept how much in the Swiss banks. Although this [Bangladesh Awami League] government is illegal, I want to know from them who are the owners of this money?” said Khaleda.

Khaleda Zia also said she wanted to know the names of those who have kept the money in Swiss bank with the amount of money.
