Govt to act on US trade deal while preserving sovereignty: BNP's Shyamal
BNP will review US trade deal to protect sovereignty, says Economic Secretary Khaled Hossain Mahbub Shyamal
The BNP government will take steps regarding the trade agreement signed with the United States while preserving Bangladesh's sovereignty and rights, said Khaled Hossain Mahbub Shyamal, MP from Brahmanbaria-3 (Sadar and Bijoynagar) and Economic Affairs secretary of the BNP central committee.
He made the remarks today (28 May) while responding to questions from journalists after offering Eid prayers at the Brahmanbaria district Eidgah ground.
"Perhaps this kitchen cabinet of the interim government also had its own strategy. However, the agreements they signed were not known to the people of the country, nor were they known to us. They can explain better under what circumstances and in what context those agreements were made," he said.

The main Eid congregation, held at 8am at the Eidgah ground, was led by Maulana Abu Bakkar Siddique, Pesh Imam of Ananda Bazar Jame Mosque in the town.
Apart from the district Eidgah ground, around 1,200 Eid congregations were held at various Eidgah grounds and mosques across the district.
