Jhenaidah:Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Md Asaduzzaman emphasized that political leaders must first ensure their own integrity and remain free from corruption to effectively combat graft in the country.
According to United News of Bangladesh, the minister stated that any anti-corruption initiative would falter if corruption among politicians and individual leaders is not addressed. He made these remarks while serving as the chief guest at an exchange meeting with local teachers and professional journalists at the Shailkupa Upazila BNP office.
The minister issued a warning against irregularities in recruitment at educational institutions, asserting that individuals involved in financial transactions or bribery in the appointment of teachers and employees would not be spared. He also highlighted the issue of power abuse by school managing committee presidents and headteachers involved in misconduct and embezzlement.
Addressing the challenges of protecting young people from drugs and modernizing the education system, Md Asaduzzaman noted the increasing difficulty teachers face in managing the current generation. He called on educators to reconsider their approach and take timely, well-planned actions to meet the needs of the youth.
The meeting was attended by heads and assistant teachers from various private schools, colleges, and madrasas in Shailkupa Upazila, as well as journalists from print and electronic media, and local social and political leaders.
