Violence in Myanmar: Bangladesh Immigrants Not Responsible

The National Commission for Minorities (NCM) has reported that the Bangladesh immigrants had nothing to do with the recent racial disputes and violence in Assam. The dispute was between the Bodos and local Muslims.

The NCM Chairman Wajahat Habibullah states that he has made a full report of the violence and submitted it to the Prime Minister of India, Mr. Manmohan Singh. The report contains the full details of the incident including the reasons and possible solutions to prevent such incidents from ever happening again. He also stated that the Prime Minister confirmed receiving the report.

The enquiry commission reported that the dispute was not between the Bangladesh immigrants and the Bodos; it was between the Muslims residents of BTAD and the Bodos. The clash occurred about 1 month ago in July. Four Bodo people were found dead. Assuming it was done by the minorities, armed Bodos attacked the local Muslim residents.

In the later decades, however, the county’s focus shifted to industrialization; resulting in various difficulties in the economic growth process. Lack of proper private activity guidelines and proper methods on loan giving were more significant of these problems. It was not until the late 1980s that these difficulties were being overcome and compensated for the agro sector. However the fin...

Salman F Rahman and BEXIMCO – “Taking Bangladesh to the World”

From its founding in the 1970’s by two brothers with uncommon foresight and vision, Ahmed Sohail Fasiur Rahman and Ahmed Salman Fazlur Rahman, the BEXIMCO group has grown from being focused solely upon commodities trading to the largest private sector group in Bangladesh. From real estate development to energy to aviation to textiles, the group has certainly touched lives. With a diversified group of industries accounting for almost three quarters of Bangladesh’s gross domestic product (GDP), “Taking Bangladesh to the world” seems a more-than-fitting motto for thegroup.

Even as Bangladesh’s biggest private sector employer, the group employs over 48,000 people worldwide and continues to grow.
