Opposition Leader and Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Dr Shafiqur Rahman has warned that conspirators and vested interest groups are exploiting unrest in the garment sector to destroy the industry, urging the government to take a firm stance against vandalism and arson at industrial establishments.
He made the remarks in a post on his verified Facebook page on Monday (November 2).
The Jamaat chief said unrest in the garment sector was continuing, with incidents of vandalism and arson at industrial establishments reported in different areas.
Neither factory owners nor workers could establish their rights by destroying industrial facilities, he said, expressing confidence that workers would not engage in such activities.
He suspected that conspirators and vested interest groups were deliberately instigating the situation to undermine the garment industry and called on the government to take strong action against those responsible.
According to his post, nearly 600 factories have already been declared closed.
He also warned that a deeper conspiracy to undermine the industry could not be ruled out, particularly at a time when the winter season typically brings fresh business opportunities for the garment sector.
Shafiqur Rahman urged all stakeholders, including factory owners and workers, to remain sincere and cautious amid the ongoing unrest.
