“Boycott the corruption and corrupt individuals socially. . . There is no alternative to forging a universal resistance against corruption in establishing rule of law,” he said.

The head of the state also asked to start campaign against corruption from respective houses as his recorded speech was aired at an anti-corruption discussion at the Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy. 

The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC), the anti-graft watchdog of the country, organized the discussion on “International Anti-Corruption Day 2021”.

President Hamid said the honest, sincere and devoted people need to be evaluated socially as it would help reduce the corruption in the society.

Urging the ACC officers and employees to show utmost neutrality and morality at all levels, he directed to ensure that the image of the entire ACC is not tarnished for some individuals’ controversial activities.
