Maulana M.A. Karim Ibn Moshabbir, a former central member of Bangladesh Hefazat-e-Islam and one of the leaders of the historic Shapla Chattar Movement, welcomed the proposed national budget for the 2026-2027 fiscal year and said that it is a timely, realistic and public welfare oriented budget prepared keeping in mind the current economic reality of the country, the needs of the people and the goal of national development.

In a statement, he said, “This budget is not an unrealistic or ambitious budget. Rather, a balanced and responsible budget has been prepared considering the existing economic situation of the country, global challenges and the living conditions of the common people. The budget has given importance to the development, social security, education, health, agriculture, employment and infrastructure sectors, which will further accelerate the progress of the country.”

He further said, “A country’s budget is not just a statement of income and expenditure, but rather it is an outline of the country’s future development. The importance given to public welfare, economic stability and sustainable development in the current budget is highly commendable. We are hopeful that the various initiatives taken to improve the living standards of the lower and middle class people, in particular, will bear positive results.”

Maulana Karim Ibn Mashabbir referred to the decision to increase taxes and prices on alcohol, tobacco and other harmful products as a groundbreaking step. He said, “Tobacco and narcotics are very harmful to human health, families and society. Increasing the prices of these products will reduce their use among the younger generation and protect public health. As a result, drug addiction, criminality and social degradation will decrease. Such decisions are very important in building a healthy, conscious and moral society.”

He further said, “In order to build Bangladesh as a developed, prosperous and moral state, development of social and human values ​​is also essential. The government deserves praise for giving importance to public health and social welfare issues in the budget.”

Maulana M.A. Karim Ibn Mushabbir expressed the hope that if the various programs and plans announced in the budget are properly implemented, the country’s economy will become stronger, investment and employment will increase, and the common people will be able to enjoy its benefits.

Finally, he expressed his sincere congratulations and best wishes to the Financial Advisor, relevant policymakers and the government for formulating this timely and realistic budget for the 2026-2027 fiscal year and wished for the country’s continued development, peace, stability and prosperity.
