Home Adviser Lieutenant General (Retd) Md Jahangir Alam Chowdhury today asserted that no corruption took place in the recruitment process of any force under the Home Ministry during his tenure, despite corruption being widely regarded as one of Bangladesh\u2019s most deep-rooted challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He made the remarks while attending the closing parade of the 63rd batch of the Women Prison Guards\u2019 Basic Training Course at the Prison Training Centre in Kashimpur here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Acknowledging that corruption has permeated nearly every sector of society, the Home Adviser said the recruitment processes of the prison service, police, Ansar and Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) have been kept entirely corruption-free under his advisership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNot a single recommendation or request was made by us for anyone\u2019s recruitment in any force,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Calling it a historic milestone, Chowdhury claimed this was the first time in Bangladesh\u2019s history that recruitment under the Home Ministry had been conducted without corruption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To verify his claim, he encouraged journalists to speak directly with newly recruited members of the forces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTalk to them yourselves and confirm how they were recruited,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
