Deputy Speaker and Netrokona-1 MP Barrister Kaiser Kamal announced that any corruption in the farmer card distribution process will result in direct dismissal of responsible officials. Speaking on Wednesday night at a mechanized paddy seedling planting and distribution event at Lengura School and College field in Kalmakanda, he said no bribery or irregularities will be tolerated in the Kalmakanda-Durgapur area. He emphasized that he was elected to serve the people and would neither engage in nor allow corruption.
Kamal expressed strong dissatisfaction over nepotism and irregularities in the earlier family card distribution in Lengura Union. He criticized data collectors for favoritism, saying that influential individuals received cards while poor and disabled residents were excluded. He urged those involved to repent and warned that similar misconduct in the farmer card program would lead to termination, not just transfer.
Highlighting future agricultural goals, Kamal said the government led by Prime Minister Tarique Rahman plans to export rice to several Asian countries, aiming to earn foreign currency like the garment industry. He also praised the Bangladesh Rice Research Institute for developing early rice varieties to protect crops from flash floods.
