Political identity can’t be shield of any wrongdoer: Quader

Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader today said the government has a very strong stance against those involved in irregularities and corruption as it believes that political identity cannot be shield of any wrongdoer, reports BSS. 

“Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s government has a very tough stance against irregularities and corruption and it has already become evident. Deshratna Sheikh Hasina has proven that political identity cannot be shield of any wrongdoer,” he said.

Quader, also Awami League general secretary, was addressing a virtual briefing after joining a regular view-exchange with Gopalganj road zone, BRTC and BRTA officials through videoconferencing from his official residence here.

He said the government has carried out self-motivated recent drives against health and other sectors and the casino issue as well while the drives would continue in the days to come.

Pointing to BNP, the minister said Bangladesh became world champion in corruption during the tenure of those who are talking about irregularities.

BNP has recognized itself as a self-acknowledged corrupt political party by giving corruption an institutional shape along with scrapping the section relating to corruption from the party’s constitution.
