Eid has been spent in people’s suffering, in reference to BNP leader Ruhul Kabir Rizvi’s comments, Textiles and Jute Minister Jahangir Kabir Nanak said, ‘They are used to seeing the Bangladesh that Ruhul Kabir Rizvi Saheb talks about. Today, Bangladesh is in a place where there is no time to look back. Today, Bangladesh has come a long way. Today the world is within reach. Therefore, the Bangladesh of suffering that was created by Mr. Ruhul Kabir Rizvi is no more today. Today’s Bangladesh is a beautiful Bangladesh, a smiling Bangladesh.’
He said this in his office of the secretariat on Monday (April 15) working day after the Eid holiday. Meanwhile, the secretary of the ministry. Abdur Rauf and other officials were present.
In response to a question from journalists about the increase in the price of goods, he said, “But we have brought the price of goods under control before Ramadan.” I was involved in market management before Ramadan. In my constituency Mohammadpur, Adabar, Sher Bangla Nagar, I made arrangements for shopping at affordable prices in the ward. The people of Dhaka were facing the market situation, but the people of Mofswal were not facing that situation. One situation in Dhaka city, another situation in Mofswal. The price that the grassroots farmers sell to the consumer increases several times. We tried to control it.
When asked whether he could not break the syndicate, he said, syndicate is a popular word. Syndicate seems like a big deal to me. Syndicate is not applicable to raw market. There needs to be control over the middlemen, from whom the consumer buys the goods. That work will be done by the government, it is the responsibility of the government. We who are in government are responsible. Prices of goods have dropped in Dhaka city after 15 days of fasting due to cheap market. The market is under control. The prices of goods and raw materials have come under control.
The minister said that the people of the country are celebrating two big festivals together. One is Eid-ul-Fitr and the other is Bengali New Year. Both the festivals are celebrated by people with joy. Thank you to everyone including the members of law enforcement.
In another context, he said, I did not like seeing less people in the secretariat today. The overcrowded secretariat is less crowded today. There is no traffic jam on the roads of Dhaka. Actually, as far as I know, there has not been such a long vacation in the recent past. Now people go home in short time. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has simplified the communication system. He has increased the desire to go to the village house among all. This is possible because of Sheikh Hasina’s leadership. It seems to me, this week will be so loose. Activity will return next week.
