Sheikh Bashiruddin, Trade Advisor to the Caretaker Government, revealed that during the previous fascist regime, syndicates destroyed businesses and markets across the country, severely harming consumer rights. Speaking at a discussion on “Strengthening Consumer Rights” at the TCB auditorium in Dhaka, he emphasized the urgent need to form a consumer syndicate to counteract these market syndicates. The event was organized by the Consumer Association of Bangladesh with support from the National Consumer Rights Protection Department.
