We reject this budget," said Gono Forum President Dr Kamal Hossain. He made the remarks at a press conference at the National Press Club on Saturday. Gono Forum General Secretary Reza Kibria said, this budget fails to address the critical problems of the widening inequality, poverty, and unemployment. He said this short-sighted, and poorly-designed budget fails to address the real problems facing the nation. The Gono Forum leader said the official estimates of GDP growth are being questioned by many economists, who have noted the weakness in imports, and revenue growth figures for the past few years.
