Government will welcome if BNP conducts peaceful agitation: Tipu Munshi

Commerce Minister Tipu Munshi urged that BNP's movement should not turn into violence and said that the only thing the government has said is that BNP's movement should not be destructive, people's property and lives should not be lost. Throwing stones, harassing the police, attacking cannot be a democratic movement of BNP. Government will welcome if BNP avoids destructive movement and conducts peaceful movement.

He said these things to reporters at his residence on Central Road in Rangpur on a one-day visit on Thursday (04 August) morning.

The commerce minister said that BNP saw the invitation of tea as a joke. But the matter was satisfactory. In that case BNP could have said thank you, they don't have time for tea now.

At this time, regarding the increase in the price of goods, he said, to keep the market of daily commodities normal, the government is helping one crore people with food items through family card. Any discrepancy in this card will be investigated. He assured to take legal action if there is evidence that the price of oil, sugar, dal is being sold at a higher price than the price fixed by the government from the city to the village.

At this time, the president of Rangpur Metropolitan Chamber Rezaul Islam Milon, the former president of District Chhatra League Mehdi Hasan Siddiqui Roni and the leaders and activists of Awami League's organizations were present.
