What the Commerce Minister said about the investment of e-commerce customers

News Desk: Many customers are in trouble by investing in e-commerce. Among them, the owners of e-commerce Evali and e-Orange, who were accused of cheating, are in jail. Asked what would happen to the aggrieved customers in such a situation, Commerce Minister Tipu Munshi said there was no point in sending someone to jail. He ended up in jail, it will not be of any use. The ministry is trying positively on the overall issue of e-commerce, whether something can be done or not.

The Commerce Minister was responding to a question from reporters at a press conference on the occasion of organizing a week-long online fair titled 'Sourcing Bangladesh 2021-Virtual Edition' at the Export Promotion Bureau (EPB) conference room on Wednesday.

Tipu Munshi said that many customers have lost money due to e-commerce. Many are now being told that those whose institutions have been shut down could have made up for the loss if they had been allowed to do business. This kind of suggestion is coming. Thoughts are being given on how logical these issues are.

"We are making observations," he said. We are talking to four ministries (finance, commerce, law and home). Their position is being determined, and it remains to be seen whether any improvements can be made.

In the context of Evali, the minister said that many large groups of companies wanted to invest, but they withdrew because of these negative events.

The press conference was attended by Commerce Secretary Tapan Kanti Ghosh, EPB Vice Chairman AHM Ahsan and other concerned officials.
