Fayez Ahmed Tayeb, Special Assistant to the Chief Adviser, clarified that a letter to the ACC regarding BTCL's 5G-related project was intended to seek cooperation, not to halt any investigation. He warned that failure to proceed with the project could cost the government BDT 600 crore and weaken BTCL’s market position. Tayeb claimed no one in his ministry is involved in corruption and stressed the project began under the previous government. He condemned media misrepresentation and emphasized the importance of upgrading BTCL’s infrastructure.
