Beximco Group has vigorously protested “slanderous remarks” by the Transparency International Bangladesh about the top industrial conglomerate’s Vice-Chairman Salman F Rahman who also represents Dhaka-1 constituency in parliament.
Beximco Chairman Sohail F Rahman wrote to the civil society corruption watchdog’s Chairperson Sultana Kamal on Sunday to register their protest.
The letter referred to TIB Executive Director Iftekharuzzaman’s comment in response to a report published by The Daily Star on Sept 13. The newspaper reported that the conglomerate has been afforded another opportunity to reschedule loans.
Iftekharuzzaman was quoted as saying that “taking unfair advantage of the loan rescheduling facility, a group of plunderers are becoming lawmakers”.
There was “sufficient reason to believe” that the TIB’s statement was pointed at Beximco Vice-Chairman Salman F Rahman, who was elected MP in the last general election, the company said. He is also the adviser to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on private industry and investment.
