Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman today called upon the interim government to take realistic and tough measures on priority basis to reduce the price of essentials.
“Currently, farmers, workers, day laborers, low income group, small traders and middle class people are enduring hardship due to price hike of essential commodities. Though price has hiked, people’s income did not rise proportionately,” he said.
“If people don’t get full meal every day, it’s hard to convince them with any good word,” he said while addressing a discussion virtually marking the silver jubilee of Ziaur Rahman Foundation (ZRF).
ZRF’s Overseas Committee Chief Adviser Dr Zubaida Rahman and BNP Standing Committee Member Dr Abdul Moyeen Khan and Executive Director of ZRF Dr Farhad Halim Donar also took part in the discussion held at Institution of Engineers, Bangladesh (IEB) auditorium in the capital.
Tarique Rahman, also president of ZRF, suggested the interim government for including more members in its advisory council for better functioning of the government if necessary.
