| Bangladesh needs officials like Badiur Rahman.... Bangladesh tax official shunted out 
| |
| DHAKA: In a small but significant reshuffle in the administration of the army-backed interim government in Bangladesh, National Board of Revenue (NBR) chairman Badiur Rahman has been transferred to Food and Disaster Management Ministry. Planning Commission member Mohammed Abdul Mazid has been made new NBR chairman, according to an Establishment Ministry notification in Dhaka yesterday. Energy and Mineral Resources secretary AMM Nasir Uddin and Food and Disaster Management secretary Dhiraj Malakar have been appointed members of the Planning Commission. Board of Investment (BOI) executive chairman Mohammed Mohsin has been appointed as Energy and Mineral Resources secretary. Keen political observers in Dhaka see in the exit of Badiur Rahman a move to end a reign of terror let loose by the senior bureaucrat, who, during the last eight months of emergency rule, used some choice terms to expand the income tax net. Last week, he was quoted as telling newsmen, "I will not even spare a dying man if he breathes his last without paying income tax". Badiur Rahman also advised tax evaders "to sleep soundly after taking an income tax tablet". His harsh words, led to several threats. He had to file a complaint in the Dhanmondi police station in Dhaka. Badiur Rahman also angered the business community.–MR |
