BNP senior leader Dr Abdul Moyeen Khan on Saturday said no reform will succeed, nor will it contributes to the country's development, unless corruption is eradicated from society, reports UNB.
"We must rid our society of corruption. If we fail to do this, we will never be able to make Bangladesh a developed country. No matter how many reforms we bring, as long as we don't remove corruption from society, nothing will work," he said.
Dr Moyeen, a BNP Standing Committee member, made the remarks while speaking at a discussion organised by the Nationalist Bank-Insurance Professionals Parishad at the Jatiya Press Club in the capital.
He praised the late President and BNP founder Ziaur Rahman as a man of integrity, honesty, and ideals.
Dr Moyeen recalled that Zia once said politics would have no meaning in people's lives unless it plays a role in improving their livelihoods. "If the poor of this country do not see an improvement in their fortune, if their economic conditions do not get better, and if they cannot build a better life, then such politics is meaningless."
He said a healthy political environment and accountable governance are essential for Bangladesh's progress. "Development is only sustainable when there is active participation from the people. Without it, no development can last," he observed.
Dr Moyeen accused the Awami League of depleting Bangladesh's economy over the last 16 years through widespread corruption and plundering.
