RANGPUR, Nov.13 (V7N) – Minister for Women and Children Affairs and Social Welfare Prof Dr AZM Zahid Hossain has urged the general public not to pay anyone in exchange for jobs.
“Job seekers who secure employment should adhere to the rules and regulations of their respective organizations and carry out their responsibilities diligently,” he said.
The minister made the remarks while speaking as chief guest at an event held this afternoon at the Birampur Upazila Auditorium in Dinajpur, where educational materials and cash assistance were distributed among students, according to a PID press release issued here tonight.
On establishing peace and order in society, the minister emphasized that public cooperation is essential to keep society free from extortion, terrorism and illegal occupation. He said collective resistance must be built against those who seek to incite social unrest and lawlessness. If any irregularities or disturbances are observed, the public should inform local elders and seek assistance from the administration, he added.
“Law enforcement agencies will also provide support in this regard. This is how peace and order can be established in society,” he said.
The minister added that 99.9 percent of the country’s population desires a peaceful life, while only 0.1 percent seeks to create disorder. “We cannot allow ourselves to be defeated by this small number of wrongdoers. Everyone must unite to protest against injustice and establish righteousness,” he said.
