Ex-PM Hasina's APS Nasim resigns on moral ground
Monday, 1 October 2007
Alauddin Ahmed Choudhury (Nasim), deputy secretary now OSD (officer on special duty) of Establishment Ministry and former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's assistant private secretary (APS), has resigned from his post citing personal ground following publication of a new list of suspected corrupts by the Anti-corruption Commission (ACC).
In a press release Sunday, Alauddin Nasim, now in Canada on leave, said he was not involved in corruption during his 18-year professional life and has never been criticised because of corruption, reports UNB.
Alauddin Nasim also said that he and his physician wife, who earned money through share business and some other small businesses, regularly paid income tax and submitted their tax return to the National Board of Revenue (NBR).
"I firmly believe, I would not have fallen in such a disgraceful situation if I had not worked in the Prime Minister's and Opposition Leader's Office. And I think, I'm a helpless victim of sick political situation," he said.
"Considering the overall situation, I'm tendering my unconditional resignation from the government service considering myself morally unfit for the post."
The new list of 80 high profile suspected corrupts, including politicians, businessmen and bureaucrats, was published in different newspapers Friday.
