Endeavour 
Our whole concept of crime and corruption seems to have changed, if you look at the behaviour of our past ruling class. If murderers, rapists, smugglers, black marketers, listed criminals and people widely accused of being in possession of ill-gotten money and property could walk about freely both in and outside the corridors of power, as they indeed did over the last three decades or so, did we not get the impression that what we generally condemn as crime and corruption were not precisely so in the eyes of those in power? There is no denying that there was an unprecedented surge in crime and corruption in Bangladesh over the last sixteen years, especially during the rule of the immediate past BNP-Jamaat-e-Islami alliance government. Our country topped the list of the most corrupt countries in the world for four years in a row. Will the present caretaker government bow down before the dark forces of crime and corruption, or will it go ahead with its pro-democracy and pro-people reform package? This is the lakh taka question. People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I do not believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they cannot find them, make them.
Please learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning and working.
