Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Anisul Huq has said educated people in Bangladesh are getting more and more involved in crimes.
“We now have to think about it, and families, society, and educational institutes have to take actions in this regard," the minister said, adding that corruption is one the major problems in society..
The minister came up with the observations while addressing a function to award scholarships to more than 2,000 meritorious students by Dutch-Bangla Bank Limited (DBBL) at the Bangabandhu International Conference Centre in Dhaka's Agargaon area on Saturday.
He said the government is conducting raids to implement its zero-tolerance policy against graft.
“Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has taken zero-tolerance policy against corruption and the ongoing drive against graft is part of the process to implement that policy,” he said.
“The students have to oppose drugs and immoral things, and the government of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina would provide all necessary help and take appropriate actions in this regard.”
Presided over by DBBL governing body Chairman Sayem Ahmed, the function was also addressed by Bangladesh Bank Governor Fazle Kabir and DBBL Managing Director Abul Kashem Md Shirin.
