The rich are getting richer, the number of poor people is increasing
in the country every day, the control of the country is now in the hands of the syndicates, the
government is also hostage to the syndicates. This situation will continue if the current
system is not changed. Comrade Mujahidul Islam Selim said. Comrade Mujahidul, a member
of the Central Committee and former president of the Central Committee of the Communist
Party of Bangladesh, former vice-president (VP) of the Dhaka University Central Students'
Union, veteran politician Comrade Mujahidul addressed the public meeting organized by the
Bangladesh Communist Party UK and Europe Committee at the Micro Business Center in
East London at 5:00 PM on Monday, April 1 London time. Islam Salim said.
He said that the country's politics is now under the control of the rich class. Earlier all the
politicians were middle class and today's politicians are all millionaires. Father of the Nation
Bangabandhu worked in an insurance company, Taj Uddin Ahmed was a teacher, and Syed
Nazrul Islam was an advocate. None of them were millionaires. Nowadays MP Minister has
become a profitable business.
Are we able to achieve the goal that the country became independent with? According to
official statistics, in the last 16 years, 11 thousand crore rupees have been smuggled out of
the country. Billionaire politicians don't care about common people. It is not possible to
change the fate of common people without systematic changes in the governance of the
country. Comrade Mujahidul Islam Salim is in London on a three-week personal visit.
