Comparing Bangladesh with Sri Lanka is unfortunate: Principal Secretary
Taking a swipe at those who campaign that Bangladesh would face the crisis like Sri Lanka, Prime Minister’s Principal Secretary Dr Ahmad Kaikaus on Tuesday said the comparison is very unfortunate.
"There is nothing more unfortunate than comparing Bangladesh with Sri Lanka today. Bangladesh is far better than Sri Lanka. Nothing can be more shameful than comparing Bangladesh with Sri Lanka,” he said.
The principal secretary made this remark at a press briefing on the current economic situation of Bangladesh at the Prime Minister’s Office on Tuesday afternoon.
Raising different data and statistics over the situation of Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, he said the Awami League government, especially Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has taken every step judiciously following thorough assessment.
Kaikaus said the prime minister on Tuesday spent three hours reviewing the situation of Bangladesh compared with Sri Lanka. “She (PM) analyzed every data,” he said.
The premier witnessed a presentation over offshore tax amnesty and macroeconomic review of Bangladesh in the backdrop of the Sri Lankan economic crisis.
