Political Programmes
'Work overtime to offset losses'
DU Correspondent
International Business Forum of Bangladesh (IBFB) yesterday urged all business organisations, including ports, banks and industries to work overtime to recoup the losses caused by recent political programmes, a press release said.The release, signed by IBFB acting president ATM Saidul Islam, also hailed the declaration of the state of emergency by President Iajuddin Ahmed. "Considering the political unrest, gridlock in business and industries and sufferings of people, we see the emergency as a positive way to overcome the crisis," he added. Saidul, however, urged the president not to prolong the emergency as it will have negative impact on potential foreign investment. The IBFB also welcomed the new advisers of the caretaker government and hoped that they will be able to hold a free, fair and neutral election with the participation of all political parties.
