Adviser Mahfuj seeks UK support to bring back siphoned money

Staff Reporter:

Adviser Mahfuj Alam yesterday sought the support of the United Kingdom (UK) to bring the laundered money back to Bangladesh and run the economy that was left in a fragile condition by the past autocratic regime.
“Laundered money has gone from our land to your land. We want that money back to run our econo-my,” he said when British High Commissioner to Bangladesh Sarah Cooke called on him at his office in Tejgaon here.
The adviser explained to the High Commissioner the efforts of the interim government to create a na-tional consensus on various issues, including the election process.
“It’s our revolution, and we have to protect it,” he said.
“The ideals of the July Revolution were basically (ensuring) dignity. Bangladeshi people did not have dignity for many years. So, they have a kind of emotional attachment to this revolution,” he said.
They also fought for equality and justice, Mahfuj added.
High Commissioner Cooke highlighted the challenge ahead of the interim government and the UK’s sup-port to the government’s work to create a pathway to an inclusive democratic future in Bangladesh.
Mahfuj raised the issue of a fresh travel alert of UK that drew widespread attention on Tuesday.
The British envoy cited a Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office report to assure the adviser that the UK constantly reviews travel advice for each country to ensure it includes up to date information and advice on the most relevant issues for British people visiting or living here.
