Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Secretary General Mia Golam Porwar has expressed deep concern and protest over the government’s decision to increase fuel prices. In a statement issued on Sunday, he said the new rates raise diesel by 15 taka per liter, kerosene by 18 taka, octane by 20 taka, and petrol by 19 taka. He warned that this decision would bring new suffering to ordinary people and negatively affect the overall economy.
Porwar cautioned that higher fuel prices would increase transportation costs, leading to a rise in the prices of essential goods. He said middle- and low-income groups would be hit hardest as their expenses would multiply without any increase in income, making daily life more difficult. He also noted that industrial production costs would rise, potentially worsening inflation, while the agriculture sector would face higher irrigation and input costs, posing a threat to food security.
He urged the government to reconsider the fuel price hike and reduce it to a tolerable level to ease the burden on citizens.
