clearly KHALEDA and others should be hanged. Her sons were involved in the embezzlement of 35 billion dollars through syndicates. The ministers were even worse with NAZMUL HUDA topping the list. These people should be beaten to death by ARMY.

Answer 3

I got the details from internet search, but I am not sure how much is fabricated and/or fed by the then opposition political party- Awami League who were famously known to cut their own nose to spit on others face!

Transparency International in its annual report placed Bangladesh at the top of the list of most corrupt nations in the world. Certainly, it makes the politicians in Bangladesh, especially those in power, extremely uncomfortable and worried. It is apprehended that in the coming report of Transparency International, Bangladesh is going to be placed once again at the top.

Although the ruling alliance in the country are making frantic bids in cleansing the image of Bangladesh, it is well understood that, international community are yet to be convinced to the fact that, Begum Khaleda Zia’s government is doing something in eliminating corruption from different section in the country.

Only recently, an intelligence agency in the country identified 11 mid ranking officials with National Board of Revenue, who own 15 luxurious villas in countries port city of Chittagong, which costs US$ 2.5 million. It is important to mention here that, monthly salaries of these officials are less than US$ 400 per month! Police and Customs (revenue) are the most corrupt departments in Bangladesh.

Almost all the officers, on their retirement, emerge as multi-millionaire. They acquire wealth and properties in their own name of in the names of their spouses. It is almost an open secret in the country. Government also knows these facts, but is unable to take any action.

Finance Minister M. Saifur Rahman is although considered to be a clean man; his sons are engaged in minting money by using the influence of their father. His sons are involved in several businesses like multi-level marketing (a company, which just disappeared after taking a few million dollars from the innocent people), customs clearing and forwarding business (this company is handling most of the big businesses in the country, just because, finance minister’s sons are partners in the business), readymade garments (smuggling of narcotics are done under the cover of this business) etc.

Personally my business suffered so much loss due to the vendetta shown by the then ruling party- BNP. My business partner turned arch-enemy engaged one after another of BNP government officials against my company and made it doom to bankruptcy. We got succor from the High Court division of the Hon'ble Supreme Court of Bangladesh, as last resort.

Now I have started to believe that the BNP was not less corrupt than the AL, under whose rule Bangladesh got the dubious distinction of becoming Champion of corruption perception index of Transparency International.

I would say that Khaleda Zia lost the golden opportunity to serve the nation, instead of serving her own party, the way the AL is famous to have done in recent history as well as in the initial days of Bangladesh back in 70s.

Thanks for bringing this report to the lime light and hope that nobody would dare to be corrupt in coming days with the reforms being undertaken by the Caretaker Government before allowing General Election to be held.

The person below me gave lopsided view and wanted to hang one group of people who may be guilty of thievery. How about the other kind who made our life hell and brought the foreigners into our midst through their overt and covert maneuvers. These Quislings are some traitors and must also be tried for high treason and executed by firing squad, if not hanged.

PS. The term "quisling" has become a synonym in many European languages, including English, for traitor (see Judas, and the understanding of Benedict Arnold in the United States).
