Lawyer's agitation against the proposed budget
Rezaul Huq, Lalmatia, Dhaka
I am pleased to see that all professionals of the country have been included in the budget of FY 2003-2004 for submission of income tax return and have been advised to obtain trade licence. This is an area where all successive governments have failed to identify as a sector evading payment of income tax judiciously for generations. In the meantime one of the professional groups have sprang on their feet and started agitation for non-payment of tax. It is quite painful to see that they have been demanding and leading procession off and on to separate judiciary from the executive; claiming themselves as champions of democracy, justice and the most enlightened members of the society on the one hand and contrarily by a resolution of association of the highest court of the country urged the government to withdraw the provision of tax return!
