To the minister...
On May 17, 2004, a special notice from Bangladesh Telegraph and Telephone Board was published in a newspaper. It said that all telecom service bills up to March 2004 had already been issued and requested the subscribers to avoid disconnection by paying all current and outstanding bills by May 20, 2004.
We know that 619 MPs owe the T&T more than 8 crore taka in unpaid telephone bills. We want to know why those telephones are not being disconnected when for a single bill of a small amount of money the T&T does not hesitate to disconnect the telephones of common people? Why this disparity?
We want to bring this issue to the attention of the post and telecommunications minister and appeal to him to make sure that all are equal in the eye of law.
