Nagarik Oikya Convener Mahmudur Rahman Manna on Friday criticised the government over the price hike of essential commodities.
“The ratio of the price here is higher than other countries in the world,” he claimed while speaking at a human chain programme in front of the Jatiya Press Club in the city.
Nagarik Nari Oikya, a pro-Nagorik Oikya women platform, arranged the protest programme where people from different professions participated.
The human chain was formed to protest against the price hike of essentials and torture on Bangladeshi female migrant workers in the middle east.
“If the prices of essential cooking ingredients continue to increase, how can the common people will sustain their livelihood as their income has not increased?” he asked.
Criticising the government’s initiative to pull reins of the onion price, Manna said the it (government) has failed to reduce the onion price, although it imported the daily ingredient from abroad.
“Where is the onion which has been imported from abroad using plane and ship? Why could not the government control the price of onion?” he further asked. Noting that the government is attempting to increase the price of electricity, Manna said no one can show any logic in favour of the price hike.
People will not accept it if the government increases the price of electricity, he added. He urged the government to reduce the price of all daily essential commodities, including onion and vegetables.
