BNP yesterday warned that the country is going to face an acute crisis due to shortage of food and soaring prices of daily essentials.
“The entire nation is passing their days amid serious anxiety. Bangladesh will plunge into serious crisis,” said BNP senior joint secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi.
Speaking at a press conference at BNP’s Nayapaltan central office, he also expressed concern that Bangladesh is moving towards “bankruptcy”.
“The situation in Bangladesh can be more critical than in Sri Lanka,” the BNP leader said.
He also said the condition of the people in the country is miserable as the prices of daily necessities are going up very quickly.
“Wheat can’t be imported as the major countries have stopped its export. It will be impossible for people to buy flour after some days amid the abnormal rise in rice prices and the disappearance of soybean oil,” Rizvi said.
He slammed the government for, what he said, its failure to stop the price hikes in daily essentials.
