Bangladesh's interim government warned tax officials Sunday about their ongoing protests. Leaders said they will take tough action if workers keep disrupting the economy. The government declared all tax agency work as essential services. Officials must return to their jobs immediately. Authorities want to end the demonstrations that have hurt business operations.
The government plans to divide the National Board of Revenue into two separate agencies. This change aims to boost the country's poor tax collection rates. Leaders also want to stop corruption that prevents proper revenue gathering. Officials believe the split will make the system work better. The reform could help Bangladesh collect more money from taxes.
Tax workers have protested for two months against these planned changes. The government says these demonstrations harm foreign trade and business activities. Leaders called the protests wrong and against national interests. Workers have refused to do their jobs during this time. The disruptions have damaged the country's economic stability.
Government officials invited protesters to discuss their concerns through talks. Workers rejected these offers for peaceful discussions. Leaders say the protesters chose an uncompromising stance instead. The demonstrations continue to hurt the national economy every day. Officials warn they will use strict measures if protests do not stop.
The statement came from the Chief Adviser's Press Wing on Sunday. Leaders emphasized that the protests threaten people's rights. The government wants workers to end their job boycotts immediately. Officials must choose between their duties and continued resistance. Strong government action awaits those who keep protesting.
