Human rights and policing

The concept of human rights is deeply rooted in sensitivity, wherein human rights are interpreted and contextualized concerning circumstances and environment. Human rights entail the harmonization of ethics and values, serving as a benchmark for humane conduct, which is determined based on moral principles and is explicitly recognized through both national and international laws. Every individual is inherently born free and equal in dignity and rights. This principle is enshrined in the first paragraph of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Will the corrupt professionals of Technical Education Board continue to enjoy impunity as usual?

I have started to believe that Bangladesh is indeed a paradise for the corrupt. It's difficult for an honest person to stand firm. If someone decides not to indulge in corruption, their life becomes challenging. If they decide not to accept bribes, their colleagues at the next desk will ruin their lives by indulging in corruption. Trying to remove them, citing discomfort with taking bribes, will only lead to the job being lost due to allegations of corruption. In some offices, there's a barrier to bribery rates. If corruption occurs, it will be distributed at a proportional rate. Almost everyone will get a share, and if someone doesn't want to accept bribes, the whole chain gets disrupted.

Crime propencity during Eid

During Eid-ul-Fitr, people from various walks of life have different long-term plans associated with the event. To implement these plans, there is a year-round effort among the general public. If we focus on businessmen, we can see that Eid is utilized as an opportunity for livelihood not only by foopath traders but also by all other classes and professions. Businesspeople, including footpath traders and others from various professions, actively engage in planning and implementing business strategies to capitalize on Eid. No one refrains from striving to give their business establishment a new look. Businesspeople, along with people from all other walks of life, target Eid to infuse vibrancy into their businesses. There is an inclination to cultivate a commercial mindset (focused solely on profit, product marketing) among a particular class targeting the simple and honest general public in Bangladesh. Criminals also target Eid with the intention of committing crimes, as the economic wheel expands during the season, and the active nature of the economy increases the temptation among them to engage in criminal activities.

Govt officials obligated to submit wealth statements

In the realm of governance, political leaders play a crucial role as auxiliary forces within governmental institutions. Therefore, it is imperative for government officials to uphold honesty and sincerity in their duties. However, in our country, there is a noticeable lack of integrity and morality among a certain class of government officials. Efforts to enhance the morality of government officials are not being adequately pursued. While there is a legal obligation for government officials to submit asset declarations annually, this requirement is often overlooked.
