Amu said a syndicate has increased prices of commodities. They are hatching conspiracy against the country and the incumbent government led by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
“We will remain cautious against any kind of plot,” he said and urged the leaders and activists of 14-party alliance to be united under the leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
