Let ACC survive

We all were shocked at the sudden departure of Lt. Gen. (retd) Hasan Mashhud Choudhury, the former chairman of the ACC. He is a man of moral rectitude and professional commitment. He showed us a ray of hope through his endeavours and patriotism. But in his resignation letter he very categorically mentioned that it was very tough to work in the changed situation under the political government. His abrupt and unfortunate exit connotes that the AL led politically elected government has made him resign. I think the political leaders have done it for personal reasons. After the election, the ACC is not functioning properly. It has lost the momentum that it had got during the caretaker regime. Actually, the political leaders do not want that the ACC perpetuates its legal proceedings and the anti-graft drive against the corrupt people. The AL has come to power on the promise of rooting out corruption. But it has failed to keep its promise. The government is rehabilitating the corrupt people in society again. A cartoon of Shishir Battacharya published in the front page of the Prothom Alo on April 14 could be a wake-up call for all us. No change... how ludicrous!
