Dhaka 25 January 2025:
Although every sector of the country, including professionals and businessmen, is organized and has its own association to realize their demands, ordinary consumers are not organized and lack awareness, people are being cheated, cheated and deprived at every step.
Even though businessmen and fraudsters take people hostage on various pretexts and cut their pockets, the law enforcement agencies are wasting time in taking action against all these price terrorists. On the other hand, no protest and resistance is being formed against them socially. Moreover, all these dishonest businessmen become leaders, ministers, and MPs of the ruling party and turn the tables on the people. And ordinary citizens are not interested in doing anything other than expressing disappointment.
After the political scenario changed on August 5, the government has taken initiatives to form a reform commission and reform many issues, but it is not taking any initiative to reform the daily commodities market, which involves the interests of 180 million people. As a result, the government is walking on the path shown by the previous governments.
