Acting chairman of the Anti-corruption Commission (ACC) M Shahabuddin said Tuesday the Commission has declared 'jihad' (vigorous campaign for a cause) against pervasive corruption in the country.
"We announce our solidarity with the anti-corruption movement that continues globally…we have declared 'jihad' against corruption," he said at a human chain programme in the capital.
The ACC organised the programme in front of the Jatiya Press Club marking the 'International Anti-corruption Day 2014'.
Shahabuddin said: "We're committed to building Sonar Bangla - a country free from poverty and hunger. Corruption must be eliminated to build the country as Sonar Bangla, which will be free from poverty and hunger."
He said the Commission is making its best efforts to check graft in the country.
