New US visa policy made BNP nervous

Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader yesterday said BNP has become nervous after the US announced the new policy.

He also said BNP is irritated by the rise in remittance inflow.

"It is very natural that those who always wait for sanctions against the country and its people from their foreign lords cannot be happy with such positive news," Quader said in a statement.

He said the prime minister's decision to provide 2.5 percent hassle-free incentive for remittance is the reason behind such increase in remittance flow. Quader said the government has taken stringent measures to tackle money laundering and corruption while those were institutionalised during the tenure of BNP-Jaamat coalition.
