Dhaka: Irfan Selim, the son of Dhaka-6 MP Haji Selim, will be suspended from the post of councilor on Tuesday (October 26) according to law, Local Government Minister Mohammad Ali said. Islam Tajul. He also said that he would be permanently fired after a full investigation.
He made the remarks in response to a question from journalists in his office at the Secretariat on Tuesday (October 26).
The minister said that Bangladesh is a democratic country, governed on the basis of the constitution. The Prime Minister personally believes in the rule of law very seriously. Whatever the identity of the culprit? If you commit a crime, you must be punished. It will not be considered which party belongs to which criminal, which rank.
“We have registered the complaint of the councilor you want to know about,” he said. We are in the process of acquiring it, in accordance with the law. A full investigation into the matter of temporary dismissal provided by law or final dismissal at the end of the entire process. It has been decided to fire him. There are many such accusations against many councilors, including Haji Selim’s son.
When asked what steps the local government department is taking to allow councilors to be true public representatives, he said: “I will not look at any kind of profession or position differently.” We directly notice the combination of good and bad actions in all professions and in all types of people in the country. Many are doing well. I don’t think all councilors do bad things. Once again, it cannot be said that some councilors have never been involved in irregular, unpleasant and reprehensible work. The perpetrator must be subject to its law. No one is above the law.
Tajul Islam said that a case has been filed in this regard and that the court has also delivered a verdict. As a matter being considered, we must know the verdict of the court and take the next steps. Today we can and will only do what is legal. That is temporary layoff. Then the following process will begin. When a person is suspended I think it is a great punishment.
Meanwhile, Sunday night (October 25), MP Haji Mohammad. Wasif Ahmed Khan, a naval officer, was beaten after exiting a government vehicle inscribed “Member of Parliament” by Selim. The incident took place near the Kalabagan landmark in the capital.
