Govt hiding correct info on Rampal

Says Sultana Kamal

National Committee to Protect Sundarbans Convenor Sultana Kamal has alleged the government is hiding the correct information about the Rampal coal-fired power plant project from the public, reports UNB.
Addressing a press conference at Dhaka Reporters Unity yesterday, she said the government has been making untrue statements regarding the proposed Rampal plant at home and abroad.
Criticising the government for allowing the Indian Exim Bank to finance it, she said the bank has been financing the project ignoring all norms and regulations.
"This money they are spending is not from their pocket. It is from the deposits of their people which is being spent for destroying Sundarbans. This is clearly a betrayal of deposit," she said.
She alleged the government is not providing the correct information about the deal signed with the Indian Exim Bank for Rampal project. "From the statements of the government it seems they will inject poison into our body and then they will take the measures as well so that it will not harm our body," she said.
The press conference was also addressed, among others, by Dhaka University's Prof Badrul Imam, Prof MM Akash, National Committee to Protect Sundarbans' member secretary Dr. Abdul Matin and member Sharif Jamil.
