May the Corrupt Rot – in the t-shirt

The Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA) is actively involved in the Bhrastchari Lai Kira Paros (May the Corrupt Rot) movement. Participation of high profile people in the movement in July had sparked the participation and intensity of the movement.
