“More than 5,000 workers lost their jobs due to the closure of the factory. Tk350 crore export orders have already been cancelled as a result of the factory closure which forced to piling up bank liabilities,” said Mozammel Haq.
“If Accord’s assessment on my factory is true, then reports of BUET, BGMEA, ILO and other government agencies are false? Questioned the aggrieved garment owner.
“I eagerly urge the government and other related agencies to look into the matter for justice,” Haq said.
He also claimed that reputed global buyers like TESCO and Primark cancelled their orders due to Accord’s report.
