HT Imam's remarks unacceptable

Recently while addressing a BCL programme at DU, PM's political affairs adviser HT Imam said, “We will see how much we can help you with the viva voce.” He also said, “Our leader (Sheikh Hasina) has told us to arrange jobs for you by any means.”

This is a bolt from the blue for the meritorious BCS aspirants. Such statement made by a person holding an influential position is really unacceptable. A large number of students like me who want to join Bangladesh Civil Services in the future have become frustrated at such comments. The government should stop politicising public services to save the administration from becoming inefficient.
