Foreign Minister Momen wants to know what is Papun's 'tough step'

Regarding his statement, Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen countered by asking, "What is the hard step?"

"We have talked to the foreign minister from the foreign ministry," he said. Moreover, the Hon'ble Prime Minister has requested the Prime Minister of India in this regard.
"We have talked to the foreign minister from the foreign ministry," he said.

"It simply came to our notice then. But at the moment there is a disruption. He said very clearly, it will be given as per the agreement, but there is some disruption. Because the demand of the country is very high now and we cannot send it to other countries. '

"All we can do is tell the Indian Ministry of External Affairs and the External Affairs Minister," the minister said, adding that the Indian ambassador had been sent to Delhi at his request.

Earlier, Nazmul Hasan Papon, managing director (MD) of Beximco Pharmaceuticals, a vaccine importer for the government, said, "There is no way to stop the government from buying the vaccine with advance money." I don't need to know what happened to other countries. We gave our money. He said the government should urge India to send the vaccine.

He was speaking to reporters after receiving a second dose of the corona vaccine at Kurmitola General Hospital in the capital on Saturday (April 24th) at noon.

Asked by reporters when we would get the vaccine from India, Papun said, "It is very difficult to say. That being said, they have left us 5 million ready. No problem. They are waiting for permission from their Ministry of External Affairs. 5 million was supposed to be sent last month. They have given 20 lakhs. Not yet given this month. '

"It simply came to our notice then. That's why we have to get it immediate. Since the Serum Institute, their CEO and Managing Director have informed us in writing that their government is holding back, not getting clearance ... so I think there is no reason for our government to remain silent. The government should be told immediately, I bought this vaccine with advance money. We have to pay. It must be said emphatically.

Unofficially, talking on the phone is not like that. In my opinion, we have to take strong steps. '
