Public Administration Reform Commission chief Abdul Muyeed Chowdhury on Tuesday warned that a terrible revolution might happen in future if reforms at every level of administration were not ensured.
‘Those [administrative officials] having problems must correct themselves. If this correction cannot be made, nothing much has happened in this revolution, but if there is another revolution after this, that will be very terrible. So, everyone has to be aware of this reality,’ he said while talking to journalists at the Rajshahi deputy commissioner’s office.
Abdul Muyeed Chowdhury, also former secretary to the Government of Bangladesh and adviser to the caretaker government, said that people nowadays were more aware than previous days.
‘Whenever anything happens at any place, people rush to the spot, which was not common earlier. Now people cannot sit idle expecting laws to be enacted, but they themselves take actions instantly,’ he said, adding that the officials will have to try their best so that people do not take the law into their own hands.
Urging the government officials to work for the benefit of people, Abdul Muyeed Chowdhury said, ‘The power you hold has been given to you by the state. ‘You are only custodians of that power. You should use it to benefit people, and to give relief to the people,’ he added.
Among others, reformation committee members senior secretary Mokhlesur Rahman, professor Syeda Shahina Sobhan, and Mehedi Hasan, Rajshahi divisional commissioner Dewan Muhammad Humayun Kabir, Rajshahi range deputy inspector general of police Alamgir Rahman, Rajshahi Metropolitan Police commissioner Mohammad Abu Sufian, and superintendent of Rajshahi district police Md Anisuzzaman were present at the programme.
