Tarique seeks government intervention to control consumer prices

BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman has called on the interim government to take immediate steps to control the rising prices of essential goods and alleviate financial strain on the general people.

He also urged the government to eliminate the market syndicate established during the previous regime. Tarique emphasized that people, particularly those in low-income groups and small businesses, are enduring significant hardships due to the unusual price hikes in essential items.

He called for the government to take pragmatic steps to lower commodity prices and provide relief to the public. He lamented that commodity prices have surpassed the purchasing power of ordinary people. Tarique also warned that associates of the deposed despotic regime are still conspiring to create difficulties for the government and undermine its success.

He also noted that the government’s disarray has become evident, and it has failed to establish a clear priority agenda. Ziaur Rahman Foundation adviser Dr. Zubaida Rahman also addressed the program virtually, wishing the foundation continued success and urging its members to work towards the betterment of humanity.
