Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader has said political leaders are responsible for corruption in different sectors in the country. He made the remark at a discussion in the Bangladesh Medical Association auditorium in Dhaka on Saturday. He said: “How many politicians can honestly say they are above corruption? But somehow, me, the general secretary of Awami League, get invited to all these events as the chief guest or guest of honour and end up repeating myself day in and day out. Quader, also the road transport and bridges minister, said: “Corruption will reduce by half if we [politicians] do not engage in corruption ourselves.
