Opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party on Friday demanded a special interim budget for six months for 2021-22 fiscal year to tackle impacts on the economy due to the Covid pandemic, ensuring health services and reducing the suffering of the people. BNP secretary general Fakhrul Islam Alamgir made the demand in a press conference at the Gulshan office of the party chairperson. Mirza Fakhrul said that many economists suggested that the traditional budget would not be helpful for reviving the country’s economy affected by Covid impacts.
