Liberation War Affairs Minister AKM Mozammel Haque has said that If the government can supply EFT machines to all shopkeepers, then proper VAT will be available.

The Minister said, “A proposal has been made to the NBR for this purpose. Everyone has to pay VAT on those products. There are doubts as to whether the shopkeepers give it to the government. I have proposed considering this issue. If the government can supply EFT machines to all shopkeepers, then it will get proper VAT.”

He was speaking to the reporters after the second session of a three-day DC conference on Tuesday (January 18).

He also said that independence was declared on behalf of Bangabandhu from Kalurghat in Chattogram in 1971. For this, two monuments will be constructed in Chattogram including Kalurghat.
