Chapainawabganj, Oct 19 — The opposition chief has asked why the finance minister is still in office if does not know how to revive the stock market.
"Money that belonged to 3.3 million investors has been looted and laundered off abroad," BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia said on Wednesday.
"As a result, the value of our currency has fallen. The price of dollars and pounds has risen. Those who looted the share market have yet not been tried.
"Now the finance minister says he does not understand share markets. Then why is he in office?" Khaleda asked.
Finance minister A M A Muhith on Tuesday expressed his frustration over the flagging capital market and said he does not know how to tackle the situation.
"There is no problem with the primary market. The problem is with the secondary market," he had told reporters at his office.
"A slew of measures are being taken to steady the secondary market. Still, the market is not returning to normal. I don't know how it will get right," he added.
Khaleda raised her question addressing a public meeting to close the second road march of the opposition at the Chapainawabganj Government High School ground on Wednesday.
Starting from Dhaka for Chapainawabganj in the morning on Tuesday, Khaleda's road march motorcade reached Bogra in the afternoon. After overnighting in Bogra, the home district of BNP founder and her husband Ziaur Rahman, she reached Naogaon in the noon and spoke at a rally.
The march entered Chapainawabganj around 5pm. She started for Dhaka at 8.15pm from the Chapainawabganj Circuit House.
