Sunday, 23 March 2008
SATKHIRA, Mar 22 (UNB): Anti-corruption Commission (ACC) has undertaken long-term plans to stamp out corruption from the society by making the people aware of the all-pervasive vice.
The ACC Chairman Lieutenant General (retd) Hassan Mashhud Chowdhury said this while speaking at a pre-rally gathering here today.
"Corruption can neither be controlled by only enacting laws nor prosecuting the corrupts. A social movement will have to be launched from the grassroot level to fight it out," he pointed out.
The colourful anti-corruption rally, jointly organised by Satkhira Sachetan Nagarik Committee and Durniti Protirodh Committee, was brought out from Shaheed Abdur Razzak Park in the morning.
The ACC chief told the audience that the Commission had undertaken a number of long-term plans to prevent corruption and said, "We won't stop our works, we would carry on our crusade against corruption under any pressure."
TIB Executive Director Dr Iftekharuzzaman also spoke at the function presided over by Advocate Tapan Kumar Chakrawarty.
About 10,000 representatives from different educational institutions, non-government organisations (NGOs), and socio-cultural organisations joined the rally.
The rally, led by the ACC chairman, paraded the main thoroughfares of the town and then terminated at the park.
The ACC chairman also exchanged views with members of the local Anti-corruption Committee and TIB officials at the local Circuit House.
