The Prime Minister reaffirmed this stance on Friday evening (March 6) during an Iftar mahfil hosted at the state guest house, Jamuna, in honor of foreign diplomats stationed in Dhaka.

Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister emphasized that the primary goal of the current administration is to build an accountable state apparatus where no compromises will be made in tackling corruption at any level.
