'Misunderstanding due to publication of partial comment'

Staff Correspondent: Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid said that his comments spread a misunderstanding among the mass people as media took only a part of his comment.

The minister said this in a press briefing held at the conference room of the Ministry at the Secretariat on Wednesday.

He said, "Taking bribe from teachers and officials was an outcome of BNP-Jamaat regime. Now the DIA is almost transparent and accountable."

Earlier, he said it was the scenario of the Directorate of Inspection and Audit eight years ago when he was compelled to say the words “take bribe, but keep it tolerable”.

The education ministry on Monday clarified its position over a report carried out by a number of newspapers and online portals over the bribe issue saying that the reports gave scope for some misunderstandings.
