Criticism over the budget for FY 2014-15 does not suit BNP, Awami League General Secretary and also LGRD Minister Syed Ashraful Islam has said.
The minister has made the statement while talking to the journalists after paying homage to the portrait of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman on the occasion of the historic six-point day at capital’s Dhanmondi on Saturday morning.
Syed Ashraf said: “Criticism does not suit with them, who placed budget wearing uniform. They have no right to criticise.”
Asked about economists’ criticism over the budget, the AL general secretary said: “No other economist except Debapriya Bhattacharia criticised over the budget implementation. So, there is no meaning of replying to his comments.”
Syed Ashraf has termed the budget as ‘people- oriented.’
Awami League presidium members Syeda Sajeda Chowdhury, Shahara Khatun and AL Joint General Secretary Mahbubul Alam Hanif were present, among others.
