Current regime an autocratic one in name of democracy, says GM Quader

Describing the current government as an anti-people one, Jatiya Party Chairman GM Quader on Thursday said it is now least bothered about public sufferings, reports UNB.

"The government has completely failed to run the country. It has mounted public sufferings by increasing the prices of fuel," he said.

Speaking at a programme at Jatiya Party Chairman's Banani office, GM Quader said the government could avoid hiking the fuel prices by withdrawing VAT and tax on oil and adjusting the profit it made on fuel oil in the previous years.

"The government that makes profit by raising the fuel prices without considering public sufferings can't be a government of the people. The anti-people government does not understand the sufferings of people," he observed.
