The discussants laid importance on creation of awareness among the mass people, especially the young generation, to eliminate corruption from the society. Concerted effort is crucially important to check bribery as it is impossible for the ACC alone to fight corruption, they mentioned. They called upon the media to come forward in support of the campaign. All quarters should have to launch fight against corruption that hinders economic progress.
The speakers further said institutional corruptions have to be checked first before taking lawful action against a person who involved in corruption willingly or unwillingly.
The participants also said though elimination of corruption is very difficult task, nevertheless, we have to work together to reduce corruption. Earlier, the ACC officials and representatives of the associate organisations brought out an anti-corruption rally from Rajshahi College premises and paraded through different city streets for building mass- awareness against corruption. The rally followed a 30-minute human chain at Shaheb Bazar crossing.
