Economists urge the government to be tactful in PK Haldar's surrender proposal

News Desk: Economists have expressed surprise at the request of PK Haldar to recover the money and pay the dues of all the organizations. They say that PK Haldar wants to return to the country or basically why he wants to return. Meanwhile, investors want the money embezzled back at any cost.

Prashant Kumar or PK Haldar managed to escape despite the ban on leaving the country. But this time I want to change the history and return to the country from Canada. Financial institution International Leasing and Financial Services Limited wants to cooperate in rescuing the money on its own initiative. The ILFSL lawyer presented the letter sent by PK Haldar to the court on September 7.

Although the letter stipulates that he will return to the country safely in the custody of the court, not the police, will manage all his institutions properly and settle liabilities with all other financial institutions, including ILFSL.

Although the apparent reason for his return to the country seems to be honest, economists say the government needs to be tactful.

Ahsan H Mansoor, executive director of the Policy Research Institute, said: "I do not know how much this letter is worth. The value of this letter can only be found, its purpose 'honest' will be proved only when he (PK Haldar) enters the country through Shahjalal Airport, surrenders to the government and cooperates with the government.

The economist said there were doubts as to whether PK Haldar was returning to the country due to any complications with the embezzled money. If he has removed the money, then why come to the country? And why submit yourself to the law? But this is not clear yet. Where is the benefit? There must be a good answer.

Meanwhile, investors have demanded that the government return the depositors by recovering money quickly from PK Haldar.

So far, the ACC has filed a case against PK Haldar for acquiring illegal assets worth around Tk 275 crore. However, he is accused of embezzling at least Rs 3,500 crore from NRB Global Bank and Reliance Finance Limited.
