DHAKA, Jan 9, 2025 (BSS) - BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Rahul Kabir Rizvi Ahmed today said taxes should not be increased in the interest of any financial institution.

“The government cannot increase taxes under pressure from the International Monetary Fund (IMF),” he said while addressing a freshers’ reception of Joypara University College in Dohar upazila of Dhaka district.

BNP Chairperson’s adviser and popular singer Baby Nazneen and Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal General Secretary Nasir Uddin Nasir also spoke.

In response to a question, Rizvi said deposed prime minister Sheikh Hasina has no longer any red or green passport as the Bangladesh government cancelled it.

“We do not understand on what basis India extended Sheikh Hasina's visa. Given the situation, it seems that India is desperate for Sheikh Hasina,” he said.

Dhaka District BNP President Khandaker Abu Ashfaq, BNP National Executive Committee member Gias Uddin, Jatiyatabadi Samajik Sangskritik Sangstha (Jasas) Vice President Salauddin Molla, Dohar Upazila BNP President Nazrul Islam, General Secretary Masud Parvez, Nawabganj Upazila BNP General Secretary Khandaker Abul Kalam were present at the event.

Joypara University College unit Chhatra Dal President Soumik Bhuiyan chaired the function which was moderated by its General Secretary Asaduzzaman Khan Asad.
