Corruption must be uprooted

Our Liberation War was a war against corruption, discrimination and injustices. The people revolted against the ruling establishment in West Pakistan because it was crooked and oppressive.

After independence, Bangabandhu tried his best to lead the country in a progressive way. But he faced many obstacles from the corrupt bureaucracy, dishonest politicians and greedy businessmen. Even the relief that Bangabandhu managed to receive from abroad in those troubled times were hoarded by these crooks.

Corruption is the biggest obstacle that we face today. It is pulling our country back like nothing else. I want to thank the prime minister for taking action against the corrup elements within her party and its affiliated organisations. We hope to see such action continue in the future.
