I have to leave after February, I want to do something for people

We have to leave after February, but before that, we want to do something for the people of the country, said the interim government's financial advisor Dr. Salehuddin Ahmed.He said these things at the Tax Representative Management System (TRMS) software inauguration ceremony at the National Board of Revenue's multipurpose hall on Sunday (September 14) morning. NBR Chairman Abdur Rahman Khan presided over the event.Dr. Salehuddin Ahmed said, I asked the NBR Chairman whether we will be able to see the benefits? Because, we have to leave after February, should we see some before that? The chief advisor often tells me, we contribute something. Contribution means a lot outside, this is that... many people don't even see it with their eyes. Even if they do, nothing is happening. Today I saw in some newspaper... I won't mention the name, it says despair everywhere, it seems he doesn't see any hope. I don't know if he does.He also said, so we want to do something for the people. Because, the next government will take some time to understand. And there is also a matter of goodwill. If we can show a ray of hope in Bangladesh at least to some extent, that will be our goal.The advisor said to tax lawyers, there is a lot of harassment in the service sector. So many people are fooled. I myself often… sometimes I say… Hey, don't give it. I tell the driver to tell me to get a driving license, don't delay. So that people can get rid of these. Do a little service. People want service. No one is stingy in paying for good service.Dr. Salehuddin Ahmed, praising everyone for the entire TRMS process being in the country, said that the habit of hiring foreign organizations for these tasks has become more common. Those who come from outside try to sell their country's equipment.Stating that such activities are beneficial for everyone, he said that it is beneficial for those who will collect taxes, not only at the individual level or company level. How many types of papers do you have to write when collecting. But later, many thank yous are given.NBR Chairman Md. Abdur Rahman Khan said that from next year, corporate tax filing will be made completely online. Tax apps will be developed this year itself. If the tax collection process is digitized, it will be possible to automate audit selection and audit process.Bangladesh Tax Lawyers Association President Advocate Ramiz Uddin Ahmed, Institute of Cost and Management Accountants of Bangladesh (ICMAB) President Mahtab Uddin and Institute of Chartered Secretaries of Bangladesh President M Nasimul Hai were present as special guests at the event.

Mamdani Vows to Arrest Netanyahu if Elected Mayor of New York

Mamdani Vows to Arrest Netanyahu if Elected Mayor of New York

Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani has warned that if elected as New York City mayor, he would order the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.In an interview with The New York Times on Saturday (September 13), Mamdani said that under his administration, if Netanyahu set foot in the city, the New York Police Department would be instructed to detain him. He emphasized that even though the United States is not a member of the International Criminal Court (ICC), he would respect the court’s arrest warrant.“This is a promise I intend to keep. This city will stand on the side of international law, and Netanyahu will be detained at the airport the moment he arrives,” Mamdani declared.Earlier in February 2024, the ICC issued an arrest warrant against Netanyahu on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. However, U.S. legal experts argue that such an arrest would be practically impossible since the U.S. does not recognize the ICC’s jurisdiction.Analysts note that New York is home to one of the largest Jewish populations outside Israel, and implementing such a move could create significant political and social tensions. It is worth mentioning that following the ICC’s warrant against Netanyahu, former U.S. President Donald Trump took steps against ICC judges, insisting that the court holds no authority over the United States or Israel.

'DUCSU and JACSU have surpassed Hasina in election rigging'

'DUCSU and JACSU have surpassed Hasina in election rigging'

Jubo Dal President Abdul Monayem Munna said that the election was tainted due to the Jamaat-led VCs and proctors of DUCSU and JAKSU.He said this while participating in the Narsunda River cleaning program organized by the District Jubo Dal in Kishoreganj at 12 noon on Friday (September 12).Abdul Monayem Munna said that people from all over the country were looking forward to this election in the educational sector after August 5. But this election has written a tainted chapter. They won the DUCSU election by engineering the election through widespread fraud. Jamaat also defeated Sheikh Hasina in election engineering.The Jubo Dal President said that every panel has taken a stand against the vote rigging in the DUCSU election. The NCP, independent and Umama panels have rejected this issue with hatred. They tried to do the same thing in the JAKSU election yesterday. Chhatra Dal boycotted the vote and Chhatra Dal did not create any chaos between the two elections.He further said, we want to move forward with the people. In the national elections, we think that the people will participate spontaneously and BNP leaders and activists will guard the polling stations properly on the streets.Regarding the Narsunda River, he said, the once fast-flowing river is almost dead. Due to various misuses of people, the river has almost disappeared. Various places of water flow have been blocked. We have planned to open the Narsunda River.Present at the time were - Senior Vice President of the Jubo Dal Central Committee Rezaul Kabir Paul, former Joint General Secretary Saidur Rahman, President of Kishoreganj District Jubo Dal Khasruzzaman Sharif, General Secretary Abdullah Al Masud Sumon, Senior Vice President Mostaq Ahmed Shaheen, Vice President Golam Mostafa Parvez, Senior Joint General Secretary Sajjadul Islam, Joint General Secretary Syed Ali Mostaba Tajbir, Joint General Secretary Rafiqul Islam Sabuj, Nasimul Haque Russell, etc.
