Civic Petition to Uphold the Rule of Law
A formal call for executive accountability regarding the transport sector, submitted by Minhaz Samad Chowdhury to the Honourable Prime Minister of Bangladesh.
The Governance Narrative

The Conflict: Principle vs. Practice
The Pledge
"The rule of law—not political influence or force—will be the final word in governing the state."

- • Dismantling of syndicates
- • Zero tolerance policy
The Discrepancy
Characterization of informal collections as "unwritten rules" or "mutual understanding."
- • Normalizes unofficial financial practices
- • Creates public confusion
- • Risks legitimizing syndicate culture

Post-Uprising Transition
