Finance minister should resign
Our finance minister often makes comments that are unacceptable to the people. When the small investors were demonstrating on the streets to get back their money looted by the powerful and corrupt people, the incumbent minister branded them as frauds and also expressed his inability to disclose the names associated with the share market scandal. Again when the Hall-Mark group and its boss looted more than 2600 crore taka from Sonali Bank with the help of some unscrupulous officials, he said: "This is not a big amount".
Now he is trying to save the masterminds of the Hall-Mark scam by taking position in their favour. He even said: "If needed, the arrested officials of Hall-Mark would be freed and new loan would be given to them to get back the money plundered from the bank". What an irresponsible comment! We can't understand how a person like him can be the finance minister of a country. He should resign immediately from his post.
