\"\"Dhaka Desk: Terming untrue the allegations that mentioned in the show-cause notice served on him, BNP Vice-chairman Maj (retd) Hafizuddin Ahmed on Saturday said he felt insulted as the party senior joint secretary general issued it in an \u2018attacking language that goes against courtesy and protocol\u2019.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In a press conference at his Banani residence, the BNP leader also said though he got aggrieved over the show-cause notice, he has decided not to quit the party right now at the request of party leaders and activists, reports UNB.<\/p>\n

He demanded that his replies to the show-cause notice be presented at the party standing committee\u2019s meeting.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the day, Hafiz submitted his five-page replies to the show-cause notice to BNP\u2019s Nayapaltan central office.<\/p>\n

“As a war-wounded and gallantry-award-recipient freedom fighter, I\u2019m shocked to receive a show-cause notice with untrue allegations in a disrespectful language on the Martyred Intellectuals Day in the month of Victory,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Hafiz said, “My humble request is that my statements be presented to the members of the standing committee. If I\u2019m found guilty in the context of the statements, I\u2019m ready to accept any punishment as I always respect the party leadership.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said Rizvi presented some wrong information and wrongly spelt his name in the show-cause notice.<\/p>\n

The BNP leader also questioned the justification of indecorously issuing a show-cause notice to a party vice-chairman, who has been holding the post for the 22 years, by a party senior joint secretary general.<\/p>\n

“Ruhul Kabir Rizvi is a polite, devoted and sincere leader, and I\u2019ve a good relationship with him. I didn\u2019t expect such a letter from him,\u201d Hafiz said.<\/p>\n

Earlier on December 14, BNP sent a show-cause notice, signed by Rizvi, to Hafizuddin Ahmed for violating party discipline.<\/p>\n

The same day, the party also served a show-cause notice on its vice-chairman and journalist leader Shawkat Mahmud for violating the party discipline by staging a sudden demonstration in the city by \u2018misguiding\u2019 party leaders and activists.<\/p>\n

Shawkat Mahmud submitted his replies to the show-cause notice within 72-hours.<\/p>\n

Hafiz said he planned to resign from the party, but leaders and activists of his constituency rushed to Dhaka from Bhola and requested him not to quit or go on retirement from politics.<\/p>\n

“I didn\u2019t resign today at their request. I want to see if my explanation is satisfactory to them (leaders), and then I\u2019ll take the next decision,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

In the show-cause notice, Hafiz said 11 allegations were brought against him and he defended all those.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
