Trade Advisor Sheikh Bashiruddin said, there have been widespread irregularities with the TCB card in the past. We will not do what the fascists have done. If we do what they are doing, we will not be different from them. At this time, he mentioned that only those who need it will be brought under the TCB card.
He said this at a view-sharing program with TCB dealers and partners of Khulna district at the conference room of the Deputy Commissioner in Khulna on Monday (February 10, 2025) night.
Regarding TCB card activation and product distribution, the Trade Advisor said, we will solve the existing challenges through coordination. We want to be different from fascism, we have to follow the laws and policies. We will revise the card and at the same time increase the number of cards to one crore. We want to do both things quickly, Sheikh Bashiruddin mentioned.
The Commerce Advisor instructed the officials to ensure that there is no political division in the area of card issuance. He said, do not try to create a facade locally. Bring only those who need it under the card. He also mentioned that only those who are eligible will be given the card and that the responsibility for it lies entirely with them.
