Fakhrul urges party men not to make injustice to people like AL
Fakhrul urges party men not to make injustice to people like AL
THAKURGAON, April 29, 2025 (BSS) - BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir today said that BNP leaders and workers should not do injustice to people like Awami League. "If any party leader and worker does wrong, the district leaders should suppress them with a strong hand or hand them over to the police. Stop the misdeeds, otherwise the people will throw BNP like Awami League," he told a rally at Molani High School ground in Chilarang Union in the district. He said that during the Hasina's rule, BNP leaders and workers were severely tortured. "Our leaders and activists were disappeared, false cases were filed against millions of leaders and activists and they were not allowed them to stay at home.  We were not fled anywhere. We had faced false cases in court through the law. We had hired a lawyer and had taken bail. Why are you (Sheikh Hasina) on the run? You also fight cases. Why don't you come to the country and stand up?" he said. Addressing the people, the BNP Secretary General said, "Many of you think that the dictator Sheikh Hasina will return to the country again. She was the Prime Minister of the country for 15 years. Her father Sheikh Mujibur was a famous person. She wasn't supposed to flee the country. Why did she flee? Because, she was a witch.  She tortured the people severely, that's why she was forced to flee. If the people had found her that day, they would have torn her to pieces. If Hasina returns to the country and does politics, we will not have to do anything, the people will take care of her." Questioning the public representation of former Awami League MPs in his constituency, Mirza Fakhrul said, "The roads and ghats in this area have not been developed as you support BNP. There are many areas that have been deprived due to supporting the BNP. Do you think such people are qualified to be public representatives? Let us build a country of love together". BNP Sadar Upazila President Abdul Hamid chaired the rally while District General Secretary Mirza Faisal Amin, Vice President Sultanul Ferdous Namro Chowdhury, Joint General Secretary Poygam Ali, Sadar Upazila Branch General Secretary Mahbub Hossain Tuhin, and district-upazila-union BNP leaders were present.

US positive over the reciprocal tariff issue: Dr Salehuddin
US positive over the reciprocal tariff issue: Dr Salehuddin
DHAKA, April 29, 2025 (BSS) – Finance Adviser Dr Salehuddin Ahmed today said that the USA has shown a positive notion over its reciprocal tariff issue with Bangladesh. “They (USA) are very positive over the tariff issue,” he said while replying to a question after chairing two separate meetings on the Advisers Council Committee on Economic Affairs and the Advisers Council Committee on Government Purchase at the Cabinet Division Conference Room at Bangladesh Secretariat today.  Dr Salehuddin said that during the different engagements with the US side, they have suggested Bangladesh to import LNG under long-term contract. Regarding the US tariff issue, he said that it was Bangladesh’s concern as the IMF and the World Bank usually lend some billions of funds. But, many issues are related with the trade relations with the US, he added. The Finance Adviser said that they have discussed with the US side on how to minimize the trade gap. “We’ve told them that we’ll set up bonded warehouse for importing US cotton, the USA also wants to engage with us in long-term contract for exporting LNG … but, we’ll have to look into the cost of freight.” Besides, he said the USA is interested in exporting electronic goods and generators to Bangladesh as well as supporting Bangladesh in establishing LNG terminal, and in eastern refinery modernization. Dr Salehuddin said following the US tariff issue, the government has already taken some decisions. “We’ve already engaged the ministry of labour for improving the labour standards. We’ve also approached the USA for importing LNG and electronic goods,” he added. Regarding the separation of the NBR, he said that the issue is already settled. “But, now the implementation is a challenge. There will be two secretaries in two divisions …revenue policy division and revenue management division,” he added.  During his USA tour, he said there were some issues on negotiations. “On the whole, the discussions were centered to continue the disbursement of two pending tranches by the IMF,” he said.  Alongside the engagements with the World Bank, the tour was on the whole successful as there were meetings with the IMF, ADB, OPEC Fund, IOM, IFC, US Chamber of Commerce and Industry. He said they also held meetings with the US Energy Division, State Department, Labour Department, Agriculture Department and Treasury Department. “On the whole, there were multifaceted engagements and all of them cordially accepted us and hold discussions. All of them were aware of Bangladesh and I think all the meetings were successful,” he said.  Regarding his meeting with the IFC, the Finance Adviser said they expect more fund from IFC in the country’s private sector in the coming days to fuel private-sector led growth.

KHULNA, April 29, 2025 (BSS) - Administrator of Khulna City Corporation (KCC) and Khulna Divisional Commissioner Md Firoz Sarkar said students must stay away from drugs and play a significant role in building a better society.  Referring to students as the future leaders of the nation, he emphasized the importance of raising awareness among them about the harmful effects of drug addiction and child marriage. The KCC Administrator made the remarks on Tuesday afternoon while speaking as the chief guest at a discussion titled "Role of Students and Civil Society in Building a Drug and Child-Marriage-Free Society," held at the auditorium of Khulna Collegiate Girls' School and KCC Women's College.  Department of Narcotics Control in Khulna, in collaboration with Khulna Collegiate Girls' School and KCC Women's College organized the event.
