The party has proposed allocating Tk 61,000 core for the ‘short-term sector', Tk 18,000 crore for ‘medium-term sector' and Tk 8,000 crore for ‘unforeseen sector'.<\/p>\n
BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir made the demand by presenting a 27-point package proposal at a press conference at party chairperson\u2019s Gulshan office.<\/p>\n
“A special fund of Tk 87,000 with three percent money of the GDP will have to be declared to implement some short-term and long-term initiatives to protect the economic sector,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Besides, Fakhrul said, a revised financial package must be announced after the withdrawal of shutdown so that the economic activity can fully be restored as it was before the general holidays.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe current corona crisis is not only a threat to life but also a disaster for the economy. The common and low-income people are the worst sufferers of it. That's why we propose taking short- and long-term steps to overcome it,\u201d Fakhrul said.<\/p>\n
He called upon the well-off section of society to come forward to stand beside the poor, homeless and destitute with food amid the stalemate in economic activity.<\/p>\n
The BNP leader also stressed the need for adopting and implementing coordinated plans on the basis of a national consensus to overcome the coronavirus disaster.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
