❐ Staff Reporter

There is a war going on, various countries have taken many big decisions due to lack of oil. That did not happen in Bangladesh. There was no difficulty in reaching people’s homes through transportation during Eid. This was commented by Finance and Planning Minister Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury.

He made these remarks at a discussion meeting at the Engineers Institution auditorium in the capital on Friday afternoon, March 27.

According to the Finance Minister, before Eid, the streets were always heated and vandalized due to the demands of garment workers. This time, nothing happened. Everyone was able to go home peacefully, receive their dues, and use proper transportation.

Khosru said, there is a war going on in the Middle East. This is causing an energy crisis all over the world. Bangladesh is one of them. Various countries are trying to provide solutions. There is no reason to worry about this. The oil supply is now more than what was available before. But some black marketers are wasting it. They are taking excess oil and selling it on the black market. This is tarnishing the image of the government.

The Finance Minister said, it is very important to present the correct history to the nation and the world. When we see politicians becoming historians. Even when a High Court judge becomes a historian, who gave a verdict ‘against Ziaur Rahman’s declaration of independence’. That cannot be history.

Propaganda can never last long. Therefore, the history of Bangladesh’s Liberation War and the subsequent events in Bangladesh must be written by historians, said Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury, son of Mahmudunnabi Chowdhury, head of the Chittagong Peace Committee during the Liberation War.
