Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) director general Akhter Hossain said former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her other partymen will be summoned to give them a chance to defend themselves in corruption allegations. And if they do not appear, action will be taken as per rules.
He said this while talking to reporters at the ACC office in Segun Bagicha of the capital on Monday.
