Govt not taking action against market syndicates: BNP

Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) alleged on Saturday that the government is not taking any action against the market syndicates as ruling party men are involved in those.
Senior Joint Secretary General of BNP Ruhul Kabir Rizvi made the remark at a human chain programme in front of the party's Nayapaltan central office in the capital.
Mentioning that ordinary people are now aggrieved by the high prices of essential commodities, he said that a section of Awami League leaders have turned millionaires who don't face any difficulties in purchasing dates and they consume foods supplied from the five-star hotels.

He said that the ruling party men have become rich overnight and a section of ministers have houses and cars worth of millions of dollars in different countries of the world.
He added that even a ward level ruling party leader is now owner of millions of taka.
He accused the Bangladesh Chhatra League of postponing even religious functions during the holy month of Ramadan just to appease their foreign master.
He said, "The government has understood the growing public wraths against them, and to suppress the public movement it has applied all security apparatus and instruments against the people."
"No meritorious persons get jobs nowadays except the family members of Awami League supporters," he said.
President of Jatiyatabadi Sramik Dal Anwar Hossain presided over the event which was moderated by its publicity secretary Manjurul Islam Monju.
Convener of Dhaka south BNP Abdus Salam and special assistant to the party chairperson, Shamsur Rahman Shimul Biswas, and party's Dhaka Division organising secretary Abdus Salam Azad were present, among others.
