BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said India has been trying to destroy Bangladesh’s
readymade garment (RMG) sector to capture its markets abroad.
“So, it is needed to form a taskforce immediately to save the (RMG) industry from the local and foreign
conspiracies,” he said while addressing as the chief guest a rally organized by Gazipur district and City
unit of Jatiyatabadi Shramik Dal at Konabari Degree College in Gazipur city.
The BNP leader said ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her cohorts along with foreign power
have been destabilizing the country’s RMG industry mainly to making the country’s economy weak.
“Getting no way, Sheikh Hasina and her cohorts have been trying to create anarchy in the country.
Fascist Sheikh Hasina has fled the country, but her evil existence is still there in the country,” he said.
The cohorts of Sheikh Hasina are hatching conspiracy against the state as they are yet to forget that they
were involved in looting and stealing the country’s money and siphoned off those abroad, he added.
The BNP Secretary General said, “They were thinking that if they would have been able to bring Sheikh
Hasina back, then they could have been able to steal and loot the money again.
“So, they are out to destroy the country’s industries especially the RMG sector. Foreign power has been
working with them,” he said, adding that they are doing so because they have interest as they know,
they will get export-orders of the RMG if the apparel sector in Bangladesh is destroyed”.
Fakhrul claimed Awami League’s involvement in destabilize the country’s industries particularly the RMG
after the fall of Sheikh Hasina’s government on August 5 following the students-people mass-uprising.
Addressing to the party leaders and activists, the BNP Secretary General said that “We’ve to protect this
industry. You get together with the labourers to resist them.”
“Remember that 50 lakh people of the country are involved in this sector. Majority of our foreign
currency earnings come from this industry,” he added.
