BNP leader Abdul Moin Khan accused the Awami League of systematically destroying the country’s once-thriving jute industry.
He recalled that late President Ziaur Rahman had introduced the first eight-hour work shifts and worked to modernize mills, but in the past 15 years, the sector has been left in ruins.

Highlighting the closure of historic mills like Ghorashal and Fouji Jute Mills in Narsingdi, Moin said workers are now living in misery. “When BNP returns to power, those responsible for this destruction will be held accountable,” he declared.
