Dhaka, Bangladesh (BBN) - Country's top business leaders have vowed to stand united against any destructive political program including general strike as it gravely affects national economy.
They were addressing a discussion meeting on the current state of economy and politics organized by the Federation of Bangladesh Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FBCCI) at its conference room in Dhaka on Wednesday with its President AK Azad in the chair.
A number of business personalities who attended the meeting urged the country's apex trade body to suggest the government to enact a law banning observance of general strike (hartal) in the country for the interest of the economy.
The leading business leaders also said the FBCCI should form a committee to meet the prime minister and the opposition leader to convince them how to shun destructive political program.
