Share market tragedy

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina once said that she had no knowledge about the share market. Ok, it is not possible on the part of a PM to know everything. But we were taken aback when the then finance minister late Shah A.M.S. Kibria said that he did not understand the share transactions and we observed the fall of the market for the first time in our history. This time when the Awami League is in power again, a second great fall has occurred and our incumbent finance minister followed Kibria's statement. According to Suranjit Sen Gupta, there are some 'rats' who played behind the curtain. We know Ibrahim Khalid has mentioned the names of some of these 'rats' in his probe report but the finance minister has dropped their names. Is the matter very complex to understand? The nation is surprised again to see the names of some of those people of dubious antecedents in the list of committee members who are given the charge to restore normalcy in the market. Is it wise to engage a jackal in guarding a hen?
