Finance Adviser Salehuddin Ahmed criticized the recent protest actions of National Board of Revenue workers and officials. He told reporters on Monday that the movement caused major financial damage to the country. Ahmed stated that government employees cannot participate in such activities. The Anti-Corruption Commission started investigating six NBR officials for irregularities. The adviser promised no government action if the staff works transparently moving forward.
The NBR employees ended their nationwide shutdown on Sunday after meeting with business leaders. Hasan Mohammad Tarek Rikabder from the NBR Reforms Oikko Parishad announced this decision at a press conference. The meeting took place at the Bangladesh Chamber of Industries office in Dhaka. Business representatives convinced the workers to consider trade and commerce interests. The protesters agreed to stop their movement for the country's economic welfare.
All NBR staff returned to their regular duties on Monday morning. The tax administration resumed normal operations across the country. Ahmed expressed hope that employees will maintain professional standards going forward. He emphasized that such protests harm national interests and should never happen again. The return to work helps the government meet this year's revenue collection goals.
