Kapasia Citizen Charter Placed
Correct me if I am wrong: Sohel Taj
Setting an example, Awami League (AL) lawmaker Tanjim Ahmad Sohel Taj placed a citizen charter at his Kapasia constituency urging the people to correct him if he commits any wrong.
In the charter, he specified the roles of every individual, police, local administration, leaders of AL and its different associated bodies and elected representatives to build a Sonar Bangla as dreamt by Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
Sohel Taj, who resigned from the post of state minister for home last year, on Saturday placed the charter and a presentation on the country's political scenario from 1952 to 2008 through a big LED screen at Shaheed Tajuddin Ahmed Degree College at Kapasia.
Several thousand people of the constituency, including deputy commissioner of Gazipur district and senior police officers and officials of local administration were present at the programme titled "Evaluation Meeting 2010."
Amidst huge claps from the audiences, Taj, only son of first prime minister of Bangladesh Tajuddin Ahmed, said, "You carry out your responsibilities and correct me if I commit any wrong."
The ex-state minister directed the police administration not to engage in politics and warned that that any negligence in duty and allegation of corruption would be dealt with an iron hand.
Taj called upon the activists of AL and its different associated bodies to work for the well being of the people whatever political ideology they belong to.
He asked all to submit a report to him every month containing people's hopes and aspiration, allegation against anyone, misdeeds or anything. "I will rule the constituency based on the reports," he said in his five-hour presentation.
