No hurry to join politics: Nazrul Islam

Former IPS officer Nazrul Islam who has been approached by various political parties including AAP, today said he was in no hurry to join politics.
"I was approached by the Aam Aadmi Party. I know how they work against corruption, but they too were not doing much for the backward class," Islam who retired recently told a press conference here.
"I am in no hurry. First I will have to educate my people, create and awareness and after that, if they decide that we should form a political party, then only it will be decided," Islam said.
Claiming that no development was done for the uplift of minorities in West Bengal whether by the earlier Left Front government or the present Trinamool Congress regime, Islam said, "The so-called minority are the real majority and that organising them for another 'paribartan', will have to face a lot of oppression."

Criticising Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, he alleged that the TMC regime did not have any control over corruption as the party lacked structure and control over of its cadres.
"The Left Front have a party structure and had control over its cadres. So corruption was also under their control. In the case of TMC there is no control (over cadres) and thus no control over corruption as well," Islam claimed.
On Mamata Banerjee, when as railway minister had given him an offer to work in her ministry after he was critical of the previous Left Front government said, "She had done it looking at the poll prospects.

"She took me not because of my honesty but for getting votes. When I was investigating a corrupt senior officer and found him guilty, I found later that he had bribed his way out," he said.
