Bangladesh’s Minister of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources, Iqbal Hasan Mahmud Tuku, stated that fuel theft is still occurring even after deploying guards at petrol pumps and depots. He said that although the fuel supplied to pumps should last one to one and a half days, it is now being sold out within two hours. The minister made these remarks on Thursday afternoon while addressing a reception for freedom fighters organized by the Sirajganj district administration at the Shilpakala Academy, marking Independence and National Day.
During his speech, the minister emphasized that Bangladesh was not created through any foreign conspiracy but through the struggle for its own rights, flag, and land. He urged freedom fighters to take an active role in preventing fuel theft, saying that simply identifying as vigilant guardians is not enough. He also reflected on the historical context of Bangladesh’s independence, contrasting it with Pakistan’s religious state model and acknowledging the leadership that guided the nation during its formative years.
