Frost: They say you know, you will know the quotation. You now have the great power of leading Bangladesh. There is that old quote power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. How will you stop power corrupting you?

Mujib: You know that if man like Yahya Khan comes to power by accident, he can be corrupt.

The man (who) comes through process. Struggling, suffering, fighting. Whatever power it gives him, will not be corrupt. Because there was a process. So (as far as) for my party and I am concerned, my every leaders (sic) have suffered jail.

My every leaders have ruined their families.

My every leaders have lost their houses.

Many of them lost their family members.

And long struggled for this twenty four years (East Pakistan link), after the achievement of independence (link), that so called independence. My people have come to power now. If they get absolute power, there is no chance of corruption.

Because they have come through a process. Unlike Yahya Khan and others, because of their brute force, (inaudible) behind it, with the guns they have come to power.

My people have not come to power through guns, my people have come to power through a process. Of a struggle (link to Bangladesh independence movement or Bengali nationalism). And not only that, they have achieved this independence after making sacrifices. And because they have love for their people and the country. They could have sacrificed all these things, otherwise it was impossible for them to sacrifice. Everybody wants to be peaceful and live with their children. But they have lost their everything, still they fought for the poor people.

I have confidence of my leaders and my party (link to Mujibs party) workers and to my (inaudible) people.

Frost: You mentioned leaders. What is a leader? If you had to define the word leadership for instance, what is true leadership?

Mujib: True leadership come(s) through a process. A man can't be leader by an accident. (3:31)
