A seminar observes
Staff reporter, Dhaka
Criminalisation and corruption had started in the country after the assassination of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman in 1975. Corruption in almost every sector was rising alarmingly in the country and in such scenario Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina started the much-acclaimed cleansing drive to bring the country from the edge of the abyss. The people of the country will have to cooperate with the government irrespective of party affiliation and opinion in order to continue the ongoing development and to establish a society free from corruption and all kinds of criminal activities.
Speakers made these remarks while speaking at a seminar on Governments steps towards curbing corruption and the role of citizens organised by Bangladesh Post, a national English daily, at National Press Club in the capital on Monday.
Editor-in-Chief of Bangladesh Post, Sharif Shahab Uddin, Editor of the daily Bangladesh Observer, Iqbal Sobhan Chowdhury, Security Analyst Major General (Rtd) Abdur Rashid, Former National Human Rights Commission Chairman Kazi Reazul Hoque, Joint-editor of Bangladesh Post Naimuzzaman Mukta, addressed the programme.
