Senior Superintendent of Police Inayatullah Bengalzai in his address against corruption exhorted the students to live their lives according to Islamic teachings. We fulfill the rights of Allah but we are far away from the rights of the people and this is causing the destruction of our social life. We need to improve our education system and teach our children about the effects of corruption so that they can control this scourge. He described lying as the root of all evils and a major cause of corruption.
During the seminar, Deputy Commissioner Khuda-e-Rahim while addressing the students said that undoubtedly corruption dominates all evils and it is hollowing out our society day by day. He said that students should know about corruption and the implications of corruption. He added that students have always played the best role in the development of any society. They are shaping the destinies of their countries with their strong hands.
Chief Guest of the event, Director General NAB Zafar Iqbal Khan, while addressing the students, gave them an example of developed countries. He uttered that corruption is dealt with iron hands in developed countries. There is a social boycott of the persons who commit corruption. Hence it is minimized there and that’s why developments are increasing day by day. He said that we always talk about the corruption of others, while we have to adopt self-accountability. DG NAB requested the students to be a part of NAB’s anti-corruption awareness campaign and raise their voice against corruption. The sole purpose of Seminar is that the general masses become the voice of NAB in its fight against corruption. Giving an example from the past, he said that in earlier times, corruption was considered very bad, people used to boycott the corrupt elements, but it is sad to say that now corruption has become norms in our society. DG NAB told the students that the eradication of corruption is possible only through education and anti-corruption awareness campaigns so that they can organize and work for the improvement of the system.
