Biscomaun Chairman and a known Laloo Yadav loyalist Sunil Singh has strongly defended his mentor and said Awami Co-op Bank’s Chairman Anwar Ahmad has no relationship with either the Lalu Prasad or the RJD today.
Readers would recall an IT raid in the Bihar-based urban cooperative bank Awami Co-op Bank on suspicion of money laundering in the wake of demonetization. The news item gained wide circulation as the UCB’s Chairman was RJD MLC in the past.
“He was MLC of RJD in the past and for last 15 years ago he is not even in the Party. Anwar made some uncharitable comment against Laluji in the past and now even his entry to Lalu-Rabri residence is banned just as it is banned in the case of Sadhu and Subhas Yadav”,said Sunil.
On Laloo and Rabri having accounts in the Bank Sunil Kumar Singh said “ It was a marketing gimmick on the part of Anwar who wanted to attract customers selling his connection with the RJD Supremo.” Lalooji has no role in the Bank as it is mostly active among Muslim members and who alone are its voters, Singh added.
Speaking on the issue BJP leader Sushil Modi earlier said “ IT raids conducted at the premises of Awami Co-operative Bank’s head Anwar Ahmad, a close aide of RJD president Laloo Prasad have revealed why RJD and its leaders were protesting against demonetization”.
The Awami Bank has more than 100 anonymous accounts where crores of black money of RJD leaders have been converted into white, “BJP leader Sushil Modi alleged. He further alleged both Lalu Prasad and his wife Rabri Devi have accounts in the Bank.
As per April 9, 2014 details, Lalu Prasad’s account in the Bank had a deposit of Rs 5.88 lakh while the account of Rabri Devi had Rs 15.62 lakh. Lalu’s family has been taking loans and doing transactions in the Bank,” BJP leader claimed.
BJP Bihar stalwart has urged the Income Tax and Enforcement Directorate to make public how much black money was laundered through accounts of RJD leaders in the Bank.
