FLP to issue release on Chaudhry
This morning none of the board members opted to comment on the agenda of the meeting however, Chaudhry only said that a statement is being prepared which will be released to the media later today. He said till then he will not make any comments.
Yesterday FLP Treasurer Rajeshwar Kumar had said that he can only make public the party's accounts after getting approval from the FLP board.
Kumar had revealed to Village News last month that the party spent all the money that was collected for the farmers and victims of May 2000 coup by Labour Leader Mahendra Chaudhry.
Kumar maintains that after taking over the position of treasurer last year he had looked through the un-audited accounts of the party however, he has found nothing sinister.
According to Kumar money collected was spent on the Valelawa Camp in Dreketi and Lautoka's Girmit Center where some farmers took shelter for a few months in 2000.
