Revolutionary Workers Party General Secretary Saiful Haque has called for the cancellation of the container terminal lease agreement at Chattogram Port, alleging the deal was made secretly with foreign entities and without public consent. Speaking at a discussion organized by his party at the National Press Club in Dhaka, Haque accused the government of acting without a mandate and compared the move to previous controversial agreements such as the one with India’s Adani Group. He argued that the deal compromises Bangladesh’s independence, sovereignty, and national security, as it was signed without consultation or transparency. Other political leaders from parties including Gono Forum, BSD, LDP, and Ganosanghati Andolon also criticized the government’s handling of the port agreement, urging greater accountability and public disclosure. The speakers collectively demanded that the government revoke the contract to protect national interests.
