FBCCI president Mahbubul Alam said on Monday the federation will never advocate for dishonest businessmen.
He said action would be taken against those who create artificial crisis in the market, but the allegations against them must be proven first.
The FBCCI leader made the statement on Monday while speaking as the chief guest at a shadow debate competition held at the Bangladesh Film Development Corporation (BFDC) at Tejgaon. The competition was organised by the Directorate of National Consumers Rights Protection (DNCRP) in collaboration with the Debate for Democracy.
