Ganoforum MP Mokabbir Khan has said people of the country are worried about the 12th national election, reports UNB.
He said not only the investors but also the common people are in state of panic.
"We have completely destroyed the electoral system for our own benefit. People are worried about the election. The people who own the state want a free, fair and impartial election," he said while participating in the public opinion verification discussion on the Bangladesh Economic Zone (Amendment) Bill, 2023.
Mokabbir Khan thinks that it is necessary to unite everyone again like in 1971 when the people fought for the independence of the country.
He said national unity can be created through free, fair and impartial elections.
"The wheels of the economy will move. Investors' confidence will return. The country will reach the desired goal. Economic zones will be activated," he said.
Regarding the 100 economic zones, Mokabbir Khan said it was said that 10 million people will be employed when the work is complete by 2030.
"But that is questionable today. At present domestic and foreign investors are losing interests."
Referring to a recent survey published by the Japan External Trade Organisation, he said 71 per cent of Japan's large investment companies are not satisfied with the investment environment in the country.
