State Minister for Finance MA Mannan yesterday said there is an ominous dark cloud looming large on the country’s horizon.
The junior minister said this at the launching ceremony of a book titled “Vibrant Bangladesh” at the central bank headquarters.
In his address, Mannan also asked the BB governor to join the government to root out the evil. He came up with the remark a day after Faisal Arefin Dipan, blogger and owner of Jagriti Prokashoni and Srijani Prokashoni, was slaughtered at his publishing house in Shahbagh’s Aziz Super Market in the afternoon.
Attending the event as the chair, BB Governor Atiur Rahman said a negative campaign is running about the country’s economy.
He termed the critics of economy Bangladesh’s enemy, saying a large number of foreign investors are contacting Bangladesh Bank, but some critics are trying to spread confusion about the economy.
Atiur called upon the critics to read the book and come out of frustration.
