BNP acting secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Saturday alleged that a ruling party syndicate and the government have increased prices of essential commodities through manipulation ahead of Ramadan.
“Prices of essentials have already increased a lot. The government did not take initiatives to control it before Ramadan and a ruling party syndicate was behind it,” he said.
He was talking to reporters while visiting eminent Journalist Gias Kamal Chowdhury at his Dhanmondi residence. Mirza Alamgir visited Chowdhury on the occasion of his 73rd birthday.
Replying to a query, the BNP leader reiterated the party’s stance saying that Padma bridge should be constructed with World Bank fund otherwise it will create extra burden on the people.
He said the government is making different types of statements only to divert public attention from corruption. “Take stern actions against corrupt persons and talk to the World Bank to ensure loan for the Padma bridge,” he asked the government.
Former Dhaka University vice-chancellor Prof Emajuddin Ahmed, Daily Amar Desh acting editor Mahmudur Rahman and eminent journalist Shawkat Mahmud, among others, were present.
