Frequent loadshedding is to instigate people against govt
Says Dilip Barua
Industries Minister Dilip Barua has smelt a rat in frequent loadshedding during Iftar, Tarabi prayers and Sehri, indicating involvement of a section of Power Division employees.
It seems these employees, being motivated politically, are making frequent loadshedding to instigate people against the government, he said.
The Industries Minister made the remarks at the inaugural function of the month-long Dhaka International Eid Festival and Mina Bazar 2010 at the city's Samarai Convention Centre yesterday afternoon, organised jointly by Network and Event Bangla.
Chaired by Chief Executive of Network M Yasin Khan, the inaugural session was also addressed by Vice-Chairman of Women's Chamber of Commerce Selima Kader, Chief Executive of Event Bangla Ali Akbar and Chairperson of Mother Teresa Foundation Dr Capt Masudur Rahman.
Addressing the function as the chief guest, Dilip Barua urged all concerned to remain alert about any possible “acts of sabotage over electricity, gas and water by the partisan officials and employees of the last government.”
He said: “Disproving all apprehension, market prices of nearly all essential commodities remained stable during the Ramadan due to tough monitoring by the government.
About fairs, he said lively participation of foreign sellers and entrepreneurs in various fairs in Bangladesh proves that the country is now a good place for foreign businessmen and investors.
He said through these trade shows, scopes are being created to improve the standard of quality and design of Bangladeshi goods.
Dilip Barua said: “Fairs also create opportunity for access of Bangladesh goods to the markets of different countries of the world including Asia through building close relation between domestic and foreign entrepreneurs.”
India, Pakistan, China, Thailand, Iran, Bhutan and host Bangladesh are among the countries participating in the Dhaka International Eid Festival and Mina Bazar 2010.
Some 72 stalls in the fair are displaying an array of products - textiles, handlooms, fashion items, handicrafts and children's products.
The month-long fair will remain open for all from 10:00am to 10:00pm every day.
