Ruling Awami League general secretary and road transport and bridges minister Obaidul Quader on Tuesday warned that none would be spared if they are involved in corruption, no matter how powerful they are.
鈥楶rime Minister Sheikh Hasina has declared 鈥榸ero tolerance鈥� against corruption, and the Anti-Corruption Commission has full freedom,鈥� he said while addressing a press conference on contemporary issues at the AL President鈥檚 office in the city鈥檚 Dhanmondi.
Quader said that it was no matter how powerful they were. If anyone is involved in corruption, the ACC will carry out an investigation against them, he added.
He said that the government did not want to bother anyone without any reason. 鈥楾here is no such allegation against former DMP Commissioner Asaduzzaman Mia. But if he is involved in corruption, an investigation will be held against him,鈥� he said.
The AL general secretary said that the government had taken steps against all corrupt people.
Sharply criticizing some comments made by BNP leaders, Quader said they criticized the government and spread falsehood on the holy Eid day.
About 1.4 crore animals were sacrificed even during the ongoing global recession, he said.
