Calling all members of the Public Administration Reform Commission ‘controversial,’ BCS (Admin) Multipurpose Cooperative Society Ltd general secretary Mashiur Rahman has demanded the resignation of the commission.

He made the demand at an event held in Eskaton, Dhaka on Wednesday.


The meeting was held in protest of the Public Administration Reform Commission’s recent recommendation to appoint 50% of deputy secretaries from the administration cadre and rest 50% from the other cadres.

Mashiur, a 1985th batch admin cadre, said he hasn’t seen the reports of any reform commission be implanted in the past, and even the report of the ‘fake commission’ (public administration reform commission) won’t be implemented now.

‘We don’t agree with the quota for which Abu Sayed and Mughdo sacrificed their lives and won’t agree to it. We can’t betray them (Sayed and Mughdho),’ he said.

He claimed that those holding positions in the commission are all controversial and there is an allegation of corruption against one of the members of the commission who was from customs cadre.

‘So we are demanding the resignation of the commission and there is no need to submit the report of the commission,’ he said.

Thanking his fellows for attending the event, he said they dream of an administration with no political affiliation.

Earlier, a joint protest meeting was organised by the retired and incumbent officers of BCS (admin) cadre protesting the recommendations of the Public Administration Reform Commission.

Earlier on December 17, the reform commission chief Abdul Muyeed Chowdhury said they would recommend a 50 per cent quota for promotion to the post of deputy secretary and 50 per cent quota from all other cadres.
