Farroque demands probe into Joy's VoIP business

---

Opposition Chief Whip Zainul Abdin Farroque demanded international and domestic inquiry into Prime Minister's son Sajeeb Wazed Joy's involvement in illegal VoIP (voice over internet protocol) business, causing huge loss to the government revenue earning, reports UNB.
Farroque at a press briefing Friday morning at his Gulshan house said they would present in parliament information and documents whatever they had about it.
"PM's son Sajeeb Wajed Joy is fully involved in the VoIP business," he said, adding the Speaker switched off his microphone in parliament Thursday when he tried to raise the issue.
The BNP leader alleged the illegal VOIP business started during the past Awami League rule when a relation of them did the business. Now Joy was involved in it.
Referring to a newspaper report published on February 16, Farroque said according to the report the government was losing revenue of Tk 300 million a week due to the illegal VOIP business. He said so far Tk 15 billion were siphoned of the country.
The opposition chief whip urged the Speaker to play neutral role so the opposition could make its contribution to making the parliament effective.
He criticised the Prime Minister's speech in parliament Thursday as untrue. "Though the Prime Minister claimed about the production of electricity, but not a single megawatt of electricity was produced in the past 14 months of the grand alliance government," he said.
Farroque also alleged that a relative of the commerce minister was the main supplier of the lentil to TCB, which was buying low-cost lentil at higher price.
The opposition chief whip questioned if Commerce Minister Farruk Khan living in his cantonment house could carryout all activities including his party work why officials and employees of the Leader of the Opposition would not be allowed to work at her cantonment residence.
