The Liberal Democratic Party ((ベンガル語:লিবারেল ডেমোক্রেটিক পার্টি)) is a political party in Bangladesh. Under the "Public Representation Act-2008" Liberal Democratic Party is the #1 registered party of Bangladesh.〔(Bangladesh Election Commission - Home page )〕 Liberal Democratic Party formed on October 26, 2006 by former President of Bangladesh Dr. A. Q. M. Badruddoza Chowdhury, Dr. Oli Ahmad Bir Bikram, and 24 other former Members of Parliament and ministers from the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Dissidents quit Bangladesh's ruling party, alleging corruption )〕 The party was formed after abolishing 'Bikolpo Dhara'. Within 2 months of its formation, the party was threatened with partition by some senior leaders who were against the decision of the party forming a coalition with Awami League. Senior Presidium members of LDP were also unhappy over some allegations of financial corruption with election nominations process and being forced to accept the son of party President Dr Badruddoza Chowdhury as a Presidium member. Soon after the rift forced Dr. B. Chowdhury to find his own way with his followers back to Bikalpa Dhara again. Thereafter, Dr. Oli Ahmad was elected as President and Former Speaker Sheikh Razzak Ali as Executive President of the party. During the army backed caretaker government regime of 2007-2008 most of the senior politicians were either in jail (on corruption & various other charges) or escaped abroad or voluntarily resigned from politics to avoid prosecution. As a testimonial to his honesty & integrity, Dr. Oli Ahmad was the only senior statesman of Bangladesh who didn't have to face any such disgraceful situation at the time. He also had the courage to point out & challenge any misdeeds & mistakes of the then government. From its inception LDP was a strong ally of the Grand Alliance. However, after grand alliance leader Sheikh Hasina Wajed back tracked on her earlier promises on the number of Parliamentary seats to be shared, LDP came out of the grand alliance and contested the 2008 elections on their own. In the absence of main opposition, the Four Party Alliance, LDP effectively became the voice of opposition in Parliament. Often Dr. Oli Ahmad would have to carry out the responsibilities of opposition leader - including delivering closing speech with the Prime Minister on conclusion of each parliamentary session, including budget sessions. With the misrule of Grand Alliance it became very difficult for LDP to continue supporting the government, however, when caretaker government system was abolished it became impossible. In keeping with his nature of protesting any misdeed, Dr. Oli Ahmad BB has lent support to the major opposition in their demands for holding free and fair elections under caretaker government. Currently the LDP under leadership of Dr. Oli Ahmad BB has joined the 18 Party Alliance to revive democracy in Bangladesh. Consequently the AL government has taken various oppressive measures against him & his party to muffle their voice. Dr. Oli Ahmad BB removed as the Chairman of Parliamentary Standing Committee for Ministry of Planning. Despite Oli Ahmad being the elected representative from Chittagong-13 constituency, all development work in that area were to be supervised by a selected female MP from another constituency. 7 litigations were initiated against him, including charges brought under explosive substance act and causing arson in a KPI area. He was not given bail in one such fabricated case and was sent to jail for 16 days. A life-threatening attack was carried out on him by AL hooligans also. Furthermore, many cases were lodged against leaders, activists and supporters of LDP. Hundreds of them were jailed in such politically motivated cases. == Leadership == President - Dr. Oli Ahmad Bir Bikram MP Secretary General - Dr. Redwan Ahmed (Former State Minister & MP) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Liberal Democratic Party (Bangladesh)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
