Md. Nasir Uddin (Special Correspondent): The fascist monster in Ganabhaban is gone. But the AB Party reacted angrily saying that the influence of runaway fascism exists everywhere, including in commodity markets.
(Thursday, October 17) Amar Bangladesh Party-AB Party leaders expressed this reaction in a press conference on "Interim Government's actions to prevent the rise in prices of daily necessities and syndicate trade" at the AB Party's central office in Vijaynagar, capital.
The party leaders said at the press conference; The government has to look at the demand, production and supply system to control the price of daily necessities of the public. Every year we see manipulation of commodity prices, various discussions are going on in the media but no short or long term government measures are in sight to solve it.
The fallen fascist Awami government turned this bazaar syndicate into a family business. The Sheikh family has taken advantage of the entire nation by holding the entire nation hostage to a few families. They claim that the people are still suffering the results.
Barrister Asaduzzaman Fuad, joint member secretary of AB Party, presented a statement on behalf of the party at the press conference.
AB party convener Professor Dr. answered various questions of journalists. Major (retd.) Abdul Wahab Minar and joint convener Lieut. A. (Retd.) Helal Uddin. Party Secretary Anwar Sadat Tutul, Metropolitan North Convener Altaf Hossain were also present on the occasion.
Barrister Fuad said, every year we see the same picture and hear various discussions in the media, but unfortunately the previous governments have not taken any effective steps to deal with the suffering of the people.The previous Awami government held the entire country hostage in the hands of a few families and established an empire of plunder with daily necessities. The result of which the countrymen are still suffering.
Barrister Fouad also said, we think the current interim government should take short and long-term steps to solve this problem of commodity prices.To reduce the suffering of the people in the short term, the list of special products should be determined and the import should be opened and duty reduction or zero duty should be given if necessary.
Corporate and digital systems should be launched for the production and supply of 20 to 25 essential products after assessing the needs of the people in the long term. The violence of the middlemen in the supply from the farmer level to the consumer should be stopped.
If the government wants, we will provide the detailed plan to the government where there will be no chance of creating any crisis regarding food security. We call upon the present government to take permanent measures to solve this crisis as the food security crisis will ultimately create a national security crisis.
Thanking the journalists present, Major Miner said that the people of the country, political parties, students have all given a blank check to this government so that they can live safely.No need to take loans to buy food, no need to go from door to door for treatment. We will ask the advisors of the government to please understand the suffering of the people and take action accordingly.
