In a hard-hitting statement<\/a>, TIB Executive Director Dr. Iftekharuzzaman declared: \u201cFrom the day of its birth, the ACC has suffered a crisis of public trust. Its shameful history of protecting the ruling clique and tormenting political rivals is known to all. The proposed Selection and Review Committee was strategically vital to drag the ACC out of this gutter. The fact that Yunus\u2019s government has deliberately dropped it shows they never had any intention of reform\u2014it is deliberate, malicious, and utterly disgraceful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yunus-aide TIB concerned over rising corruption, mob violence<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Purbachal Plot Case: Sheikh Hasina exposes hypocrisy of the accusers<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Ex-secretary: 8 advisers of Yunus government engaged in massive corruption<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n He continued: \u201cEven though every political party gave unanimous consent to this provision in the July Charter, and even though the authorities concerned had repeatedly agreed with TIB\u2019s persistent advocacy, the final ordinance has thrown it in the dustbin. This is not just disappointing\u2014it is conclusive proof that powerful anti-reform cliques inside the Yunus regime have taken the entire state-reform agenda hostage.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n TIB pulled no punches, directly questioning Yunus\u2019 personal role: \u201cThe Chief Adviser who proudly formed the Consensus Commission and eleven reform commissions\u2014is he now sending a loud and clear message to every political party and every citizen of Bangladesh: \u2018State reform was nothing but empty rhetoric.\u2019 By keeping the ACC completely unaccountable and outside any oversight, is he admitting that the only purpose of this regime is to weaponise institutions against the Awami League and pro-liberation forces while giving free rein to corruption by his own circle?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dr. Iftekharuzzaman added: \u201cThe committee was designed to conduct six-monthly reviews and public hearings and give binding recommendations so that the ACC could finally become a truly accountable, independent, and impartial body. Yunus\u2019 government has consciously refused to understand this strategic necessity\u2014which is not just tragic, it is a self-contradictory and anti-reform precedent from a regime that claims to be carrying the \u2018responsibility of state reform.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The statement accused the Yunus regime of \u201csurrendering to vested interests\u201d and turning the ACC into \u201ca puppet of the ruling cliques and their extremist backers,\u201d ensuring it remains \u201ca hunting dog for political rivals and a protective umbrella for regime loyalists and Jamaat-linked corrupt elements.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Great Plunder in MP Project: Corruption and deception under Yunus<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Corruption, suspension of operation plans cripple Bangladesh health sector<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
