The Workers Party of Bangladesh, a component of the AL-led alliance, on Saturday demanded that the commerce minister, Faruq Khan, should reside for his failure to control prices.
The party in a press statement expressed its concerns about the abnormal increase in commodity prices before Eid-ul-Fitr.
The minister should resign for his failure to control the hoarders responsible for the price increase, the party said
The commerce minister also failed to strengthen the Trading Corporation of Bangladesh for which hoarders got an opportunity to control the market, it said.
The party called on the government to take immediate steps to strengthen the Trading Corporation and introduce mass rationing to control the market. It also put out a call for action against hoarders.
