Gonoshasthaya Kendra founder Dr Zafrullah Chowdhury recently described the government's power deal with the Indian Adani Group as an anti-state one and demanded its cancellation.
“Bangladesh's power deal with India's Adani Group has shocked the patriots and sensible people. This deal is against the interests of Bangladesh and it should be revoked,” he said.
Zafrullah, also a freedom fighter, made the demand at a press conference arranged by Bhasani Anusari Parishad at Gonoshasthaya Nagar Hospital in the city’s Dhanmondi area.
He said local and foreign experts called this deal-- to loot the country's resources in the name of electricity import-- as a gift to the Indian government by the Bangladesh government.
“This deal was mainly inked to fill the pockets of Adani. This is a one-sided and very expensive agreement,” Zafrullah observed.
He voiced concern that corruption, misrule, money laundering and limitless plundering in the country have made public life miserable.
