Anti-discrimination student movement's ultimatum to reduce commodity prices in Bangladesh

The anti-discrimination student movement has given an ultimatum to 13 departments and organizations under the Ministry of Commerce to bring the price of goods within the purchasing power of the public within a week. They have called upon the officials of these departments and organizations to resign if necessary measures are not taken to control the situation within this period.

Bin Yamin Mollah, the coordinator of the anti-discrimination student movement, gave this ultimatum in an exchange meeting organized in the meeting room of the head office of the National Consumer Rights Protection Directorate on Sunday.

This exchange meeting was organized with the coordinator of the anti-discrimination student movement and the students in order to coordinate the students of the anti-discrimination student movement in the awareness activities of the Directorate of National Consumer Rights Protection.

Bin Yamin Molla said in the meeting, "We have been with various types of injustice and irregularities for so long. Now we have to swear—no more corruption, nepotism, injustice, syndicates, extortion, usurpation. We must bear this in mind. Then the state should be reformed.

Otherwise, all our sacrifices will be in vain. At this time, he called for discussion with the students on behalf of every service sector like the Directorate of Consumer Rights Protection.

Appreciating the market monitoring activities of the students, Director General (DG) of the National Consumer Protection Directorate AHM Safikuzzaman said, "The documents of market management irregularities and illegal syndicates will be handed over to the students. These will be analyzed by students.
