Staff Reporter : Corruption is rampant in Bangladesh under the present government. Development in various sectors of the country is being hampered as a result of rampant corruption. Dr. Siddiqur Rahman, former president of the United States Awami League, who has just returned from the country, said that the country would have changed if it had not been for these corruptions. He made the remarks at a news conference on Saturday (June 5) at a restaurant in Jackson Heights, New York, after returning from a recent visit to the United States.
Dr. Siddiqur Rahman, former president of the defunct United States Awami League, said that during his time in the country, he had thought of giving some financial help to the helpless people, but he could not find a person to whom he would give the responsibility. Because corruption is everywhere, including local leaders and activists.
“We can’t do anything from here to those who are looting the country’s money and living in luxury in London, United States or Begum Para in Canada, but we socially boycott and hate them as thieves,” he said.
He added that the biggest misfortune of Bangladesh is that there is no strong opposition party in the country. So there is no one to criticize the government or Sheikh Hasina. So let’s criticize the government and form a strong opposition as well.
Former United States Awami League incumbent. Former President of the United States Awami League Dr. Siddiqur Rahman presided over the conference conducted by Ex acting general secretary Abdus Samad Azad.
Dr. Siddiqur Rahman, Haji Enam and Shamsuddin Azad answered various questions of the journalists at the conference. Also present were agriculturists Ashrafuzzaman, Shahanara Rahman, Solaiman Ali and Abdul Hasib Mamun.
Meanwhile, the former president of the United States Awami League involved in various misdeeds including extortion by breaking the name of the party. Leaders and activists of the United States Awami League have lodged a complaint with the Prime Minister, including the Central Awami League, alleging 17 misdeeds against Siddiqur Rahman.
The allegations, which were filed in September 2019, include allegations that the Prime Minister’s Appropriations Committee was reshuffled, that extra-constitutional activities were involved, and that a doctor planning to kidnap the prime minister’s son, Sajeeb Wazed Joy, was paid a large sum of money.
The term of the committee of the United States Awami League expired 6 years ago. The United States Awami League has been abolished under constitutional rules since she herself presided over Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s civic reception in New York in September 2019. For the first three years, Sheikh Hasina’s approved committee had six members. At present there are 173 people. The age of the approved committee is over 11 years. In the last 6 years, he has played the game of discovering and expelling people of his choice in a completely unorganized process. His main aim is to make money from the work of ordinary workers by showing greed for different positions. He is still doing that. He has been controversial with the government, the country, Bangabandhu and Sheikh Hasina and her son himself with various controversial statements. A few years ago, on National Mourning Day (August 15), a video of his wife Shahanara Begum falling to the ground with a laugh went viral. At that time, both of them became quite controversial.
In the presence of the Prime Minister at the Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s civic reception in New York in September 2018, the slogan ‘Siddique no longer wants to see’ or ‘No more Siddique’ became the venue of the reception.
