Enact law to ban hartal | |
2012-05-04 | |
[Bangla Daily Star] The Federation of Bangladesh Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FBCCI) yesterday demanded a law to ban hartal ... a peculiarly Bangla combination of a general strike and a riot, used by both major political groups in lieu of actual governance ... , considering the loss it inflicts on the country's economy.
The meeting was organised to discuss the current political situation and the economy. The FBCCI held the discussion a day after a meeting of top business leaders on hartal and economy at Westin Hotel in Dhaka. | |

#1 Hartal: general strike against all public and private businesses and operations. A general shutting down of the entire economy to make a point and get a demand fulfilled. |
