Appointment in Nazrul University

Job aspirant blames lawmaker for taking bribe

Staff Correspondent
A job aspirant of Jatiya Kabi Kazi Nazrul Islam University in Trishal of Mymensingh yesterday alleged that the lawmaker of Mymensingh-7 constituency took Tk 25 lakh as bribe from two candidates for appointment as assistant exam controller.
The aspirant for the post, Mohammad Rafiqul Islam, hailing from Mymensingh, read out the allegation at a press conference at Bangladesh Crime Reporters' Association in the capital.
But the lawmaker, Reza Ali, talking to The Daily Star over phone, denied the allegation.
He said none had raised any question or brought any allegation against him regarding any appointment or other activities till date.
"After joining as a syndicate member of the university, I never favoured or came to harm anyone. I even refused to listen to the requests of ministers centering such issues as everything here follows the due procedure,” said Reza.
Rafiqul said Reza, present at the viva board for the post on April 28, directed
the registrar to confirm the appointment of the two candidates while there were four more candidates waiting to appear before the board.
When Rafiqul drew the attention of Reza and Registrar Md Humyaun Kabir over the matter that day, they misbehaved with him, he said.
On May 5, the university authorities placed the names of the selected candidates before the syndicate to confirm their appointment. Two syndicate members raised questions over the selection process and refrained from signing the approval letter, he added.However, the university appointed one, Mokarrerom Hossain Masum, whom Reza had brought before the board on his own car, said Rafiqul.
Reza denied having any knowledge as to who Masum was.
On the contrary, he said he had urged Rafiqul to review the exam sheets if he wanted to when the latter went to meet him after the appointment with the reference of a senior journalist.
Rafiqul also alleged that Reza's personal secretary, SH Pavel, had told him that if he had arrived beforehand and
agreed with his (Pavel's) conditions, he would have got the job.
Pavel, talking to The Daily Star over phone, denied the allegations and said he had only provided Rafiqul with the opportunity to meet Reza.
Another aspirant for the post of assistant professor at the fine arts department, Hossain Muhammad Faruk, alleged that the university authorities, in 2009, appointed a candidate who had submitted fake experiencecertificates.
Faruk, present at the press conference, alleged that four teachers were also appointed in the department last year although the High Court had issued a show cause notice on the university authorities, asking to stop the appointment.
Vice Chancellor Prof Gias Uddin and Registrar Md Humyaun Kabir, over phone, denied the anomalies and defended Reza.
Prof Gias claimed that the university appointed eligible candidates on the basisoftheir skills and there was no scope or incident of corruption or anyone influencing the appointment process.
