FY25 budget is pro-people and practical: Quader

Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader has termed the proposed budget for 2024-25 fiscal year as pro-people and realistic at a time of economic crisis.

He said this at a press conference on the proposed budget at the Awami League office on Bangabandhu Avenue on Saturday (June 8) noon.

Obaidul Quader said there is no example of Awami League finance ministers running around with begging baskets even though they have presented a budget of around Tk 8 lakh crore.

Mirza Fakhrul will have to face the nation as their leader Tarique Rahman is leading a luxurious life in London with that money.

Responding to the comments of economists about the budget and loan defaulters, Obaidul Quader said the country's economists are now divided. BNP's economists react negatively to budget.
