B Chy urges youths to forge social movement against corruption

President of Bikalpa Dhara Bangladesh (BDB) AQM Badruddoza Chowdhury said on Sunday there will be no terrorism and corruption in the country if youths can forge a social movement against the menaces, reports UNB.

"People are now feeling insecure as looting and corruptions are going on everywhere. But, there's no protest against these. There'll be no terrorism and corruption if youths come forward against the menaces," he said.

B Chowdhury, also a former president and convener of Juktafront, a new alliance of four political parties, was addressing the annual convention of the National Youth Forum of Bangladesh at the Bangladesh Supreme Court Bar Association auditorium in the city.

The theme of this year's convention was: 'Cyber Ethics and Youth against Cyber Crime'.

There was corruption during the tenure of every government and the incumbent government is no exception, the BDB chief said, adding that corruption will come down by 80 per cent if public servants stop indulging in irregularities. "For this, the youths will have to forge a social movement. Bangladesh will be freed from terrorism and graft and it'll make a turnaround through this movement."

Youth Forum Chairperson Rumana Islam Setu presided over the programme while BNP leader Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury and ex-MP Golam Maula Roni spoke on the occasion.
