RAB declared the Hasina GOB as TERRORIST.

On May 19, prime minister's defence advisor Tarique Ahmed Siddique said Limon and father had close ties with gangster Morshed Jamaddar. Two days later, home minister Shahara Khatun said the adviser's remarks about Limon was indeed the Government's statement. Bozlul Haq Harun, a Government MP, elected from Jhalakati-1 helped Limon and his family (Prothom-Alo 25/05/2011). If this is the consequence than Government has a close relation with Terrorism Groups.

The home ministry's inquiry committee looking into the RAB shooting of college student Limon Hossain of Jhalakati has taken statements of Limon and his father. The one-man committee of additional divisional commissioner of Barisal Mohammad Shawkat Akbar on Tuesday spoke to Limon and his father Tofazzal Hossain at the National Institute of Traumatology, Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation (Pangu hospital) in Dhaka from 11:30am to 1:30pm. The father and son signed their statements, he said. Physician Gazi Mohammad Enamul Haque was present during the recording of the statements.

A RAB team shot Limon, who used to work in a brick kiln, in the leg after reportedly taking him to a place adjacent to his house at Jamaddarhat in Rajapur upazila of Jhalakati on Mar 23. The paramilitary force denies the charges. The incident took place less than a fortnight before his Higher Secondary Certificate examinations were set to begin.

RAB filed two cases against the teenager — one under the arms act and the other for making attempts to murder and injure RAB personnel. Limon's mother Henuara Begum on Apr 10 filed an attempt-to-murder case against six RAB men. "I WENT TO BRING HOME MY COW" After giving his statement, Limon told reporters that a RAB member had shot him in the left leg when he had gone near the Old Jamaddarhat Bridge to bring home his cow. "The RAB member wore a name tag that read 'Lutfar'," he said.

GOVERNMENT WILL PROVIDE FIRMING LOAN TRHOUGH MICROCREDIT PROCESS.

Small-Scale Livestock Farming: A Grass-Based Approach for Health, Sustainability, and Profit

 

A planning is under process to disburse small loans to small entrepreneurs in the fisheries and livestock sector by the government. "The ministry is preparing a proposal in this regard," fisheries and livestock minister Abdul Latif Biswas told on Thursday. Loans ranging from Tk 10,000 to 30,000 would be given to unemployed but trained youths and farm entrepreneurs, he said.

"If the entrepreneurs want to raise livestock, poultry or farm fish, half of their loans will be provided in cash, while the livestock with the rest," Biswas said. The fund will, however, be a revolving one. It will begin work by coordinating all the running microcredit programmes under the ministry.

"The programme, if approved, could start operating in as early as July," Biswas said. The programme will emphasise raising goats and sheep, as entrepreneurs are seen to show more interest in such livestock. Officials said the ministry had been disbursing financial aid and loans to the sector, but there was no coordination. The target of this microcredit project was to create employments for youths not involved in farming.

A new job scheme will be provided by GOB.

The government is going to introduce national service job scheme from next month to provide employment to one educated member per family, the finance minister said on Sunday. AMA Muhith told reporters after opening a seminar at Sheraton Hotel "It will be introduced from December in the initial phase in Barguna and Kurigram districts and later spread to other districts."

Applications will be invited from those who have passed HSC or equivalents, and a list will be prepared of the deserving candidates, finance minister said. Those selected will be given three months' training after which they will be appointed to different government departments for two years, particularly as assistants to agriculture and education officers, he said.
