Re-evaluation of foreign investment policy sought

---

Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal (JSD) President Hasanul Haq Inu, MP Friday said the government should re-evaluate the foreign investment policy so that country's interest is not hampered, reports UNB.
He also said it should be clear how the foreign investors would run their business in Bangladesh, how much benefit they (foreign investors) as well as the country could get through making the foreign investment policy time-befitting.
"We, at the same time, should make the policy modern so that foreign investors can feel interested to invest here," said Inu, also one of the allies of the Awami League led grand-alliance government.
Mr Inu made the remarks while expressing solidarity to a group of garment workers who staged a token hunger-strike in the city's Muktangon area demanding reopening of the closed Basic Apparel Factory and their arrear salaries.
The Basic Apparel Factory remained closed since February 2 where over 18,000 employees work.
Mr Inu said the government should keep eyes on garment factories so that the workers are not forced to come down on the streets to press home their demands.
General Secretary of Jatiya Sramik League Roy Romesh Chandra, Coordinator of Sramik Karmachari Oikya Parishad (SKOP) Dr Wazedul Islam Khan, Bangladesh Jatiya Sramik Jote President Shirin Akhter, workers leader Salahuddin Swapan and Sirajul Islam Rony also spoke on the occasion.
