Lakshmipur Police Superintendent ASM Mahatab Uddin said, "We ourselves criticize others for committing corruption. We make others aware of not committing corruption. But I myself am not aware. So if I promise myself that no matter who else commits corruption, I will not do it, then only will it be possible to prevent corruption." He said, "I will do my job, I will build my country."
He made these comments at a discussion meeting on International Anti-Corruption Day at the Lakshmipur Deputy Commissioner's conference room this (December 9) Saturday morning.
At this time, the Superintendent of Police said, "In our society, a formalin-laced fish seller goes to a fruit shop and asks if the fruit is adulterated. Again, an adulterated fruit seller goes to a pharmacy and asks if the expiration date and company of the medicine are good. An adulterated medicine seller goes to the police station and says that there is no work here without money. Similarly, a police officer of the police station goes out on a professional duty and after driving for some distance, the car stops due to adulterated oil. In this way, each of us is involved in corruption."
Therefore, if we ourselves are aware first, it will be possible to prevent corruption, the country will be free from corruption, and it will be possible to build the Bangladesh of our dreams.
The discussion organized by the Lakshmipur Deputy Commissioner and Noakhali ACC Joint Office and in collaboration with the Aware Citizens Committee (SANAC) and the District Corruption Prevention Committee was attended by Deputy Commissioner Homayra Begum. Additional Deputy Commissioner (General) Mohammad Iqbal Hossain, Assistant Director of Noakhali ACC Joint Office Al Mamun, Principal of Lakshmipur Government College Main Uddin Pathan, Panel Chairman of the District Council Farida Yasmin Lika, District SANAC President Professor Mahbub Mohammad Ali, among others.
Earlier, a human chain, oath-taking, and balloon and pigeon flying were held at the Collectorate premises to mark the day.

Dhaka Metropolitan City Ameer Noor Hossain Qasemi announced the program at a protest march organized by Dhaka Metropolitan City from the North Gate of Baitul Mukarram after Friday prayers.

Last Wednesday, US President Donald Trump declared Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. At the same time, Trump announced the relocation of the US embassy from Tel Aviv, Israel to Jerusalem. In protest of Trump's announcement, anti-US protests spread in various countries around the world, including Palestine. In such a situation, the United Nations has called an emergency session. The organization's president, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, has called an emergency meeting of the main Muslim alliance, the OIC, on December 13. Bangladesh has also protested the announcement.

Immediately after Friday prayers, various Islamist groups took out a protest march around the national mosque, Baitul Mukarram. Everyone chanted, "We will accept Trump's announcement or not," "Jerusalem belongs to Palestine, Israel is gone." At that time, the angry crowd set fire to the US flag.

Meanwhile, the Islamic Movement Bangladesh, led by Charmonai Pir, has protested at Baitul Mukarram with the same demand. The organization will hold a mass march towards the US Embassy on Monday, December 11 at 10 am.

Along with Malaika Arora Khan or Gauahar Khan, now top actresses like Kareena Kapoor Khan and Katrina Kaif are seen in item songs of movies. But, do you know, how much do Bollywood actresses charge for each item song?

Malaika reportedly demands a fee of Rs 1 crore for each item song, be it Dabangg's 'Munni Badnaam' or 'Anarkali Disco Chali'.

Apart from acting, Sonakshi Sinha is demanding Rs 6 crore for item songs.

‘'Baby Doll' fame Sunny Leone demands Rs 3 crore as remuneration for her item songs.

‘Priyanka reportedly took 6 crores for 'Galiyo ki Rasleela' in 'Ramleela'.

Hefazat-e-Islam has announced nationwide protests to protest the recognition of the Muslim holy city of Al-Quds (Jerusalem) as the capital of Israel. They will hold nationwide protests after Juma prayers on Friday, the organization said in a statement on Thursday.

In a statement expressing strong condemnation and protest, Hefazat-e-Islam Ameer Allama Shah Ahmed Shafi and Secretary General Allama Junaid Babunagri called on Hefazat leaders and activists, ulema and the public to join the protest march.

They also protested US President Donald Trump's unilateral recognition of occupied Palestinian Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

In a statement, they said, "The US President has unjustly declared the city of Jerusalem, which is built around the Holy Mosque Al-Aqsa, as the capital of Israel, and has waged war against the Muslim Ummah. The current US President is a mentally deranged man. World peace is under serious threat due to his controversial and aggressive decisions one after another. World Muslim leaders and people must unite to protest his imperialist and aggressive decisions. This can never be done by any Jewish group."

World leaders have not taken Trump's announcement of Jerusalem, a religiously and politically sensitive place, as the capital of Israel well. They have strongly protested the announcement made by the US President. The Palestinians are also ready to make sacrifices to get Jerusalem as their own.

Hundreds of Palestinians marched across Bethlehem on Thursday against Donald Trump's controversial recognition of the West Bank on Wednesday night. The entire Palestine erupted in anger. The Israeli army used tear gas and rubber bullets to suppress the protests. At least seven people, including a small child, were injured. Everyone, regardless of women, men, and children, participated in the protests. Everyone participated in the protests across the West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem.

Palestinian leaders have called for protests across Palestine. "Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa (Mosque) mean a lot to all of us," said Rabi Alsos, 32.
The US decision is a big mistake.
