Finance Minister AMA Muhith said Sunday his ministry will take necessary actions against capital market manipulators as per report by the probe committee on share scam after thorough review and further intensive investigation. He also said the probe committee's report will be published after editing some information even before 10-15 days timeframe as was mentioned earlier. "I will sit with the officials of finance ministry within the next few days to discuss the probe committee's report. And will decide our next course of actions," Muhith said. The finance minister also said that his ministry wanted to thoroughly review the probe committee's report to avoid unnecessary character assassination. He said the findings, on which further investigation will be carried out, can be published partially after necessary editing. The minister made the observations before the media at the National Economic Council (NEC) at Sher-e- Bangla Nagar in the capital to clarify his (minister's) position and spell out misconceptions created following the reports appeared in different print and electronic media with regard to his (minister's) observation at the press conference. The minister said he had not mentioned at the press conference on the day that persons involved in the share market scam are more powerful than the state, as was reported in the media. "Rather I said the persons or organistaions who are involved in the share market irregularities, no matter how far they are powerful, necessary actions will be taken against them," Muhith said.
