New plan to loot money: Fakhrul

BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has alleged that the proposed budget of 2024-25 placed in the Jatiya Sangsad is a new plan to loot money.

The BNP secretary general made the instant reaction to the proposed national budget at the BNP chairperson’s Gulshan political office on Thursday.

He said, “Bangladesh has turned into a country of looters. The government has transformed into a looter. It's just for looting. I can see it now. The government has made a plan of looting afresh.”

The so-called budget which has been proposed shows that revenue expenditures are higher than that of revenue earnings. The entire burden is going to fall on common people as the sectors where revenue earnings have been shown, he said.
