According to government sources, Awami League and its allies from the 14-party alliance, who were ousted in a student-led mass uprising, will not be invited to the dialogue. The Jatiya Party has not been invited either, and no decision has been made regarding their participation. After the Durga Puja, the Chief Advisor will again sit for dialogue next Saturday. Sources say that discussions with Gana Odhikar Parishad and the Amar Bangladesh Party (ABP) may take place on the Saturday after that.

India sets roadmap to grow textiles industry to $350 billion by 2030ndia has drawn up a roadmap for generating 4.5-6 crore jobs in the textile sector by 2030 to make its market size grow to $350 billion from around $165 billion at present, India's Textiles Minister Giriraj Singh has said. Addressing a press conference in New Delhi on Friday on the 100-day programme of the Ministry of Textiles, Singh said: "The 100-day roadmap we have prepared includes (attracting) investment for the creation of 4.5 crore to 6 crore jobs by 2030." He said the seven integrated mega textile parks approved earlier will have investment to the tune of Rs 70,000 crore when fully functional, thereby creating 21 lakh jobs. Setting a target of producing 50,000 tonnes in the long run, the minister said cultivation of silk is linked to huge employment generation as around one crore people are connected with the sector.

RMG owners demand greater security to keep factories open amid labour unrestGarment factory owners today called for enhanced security to keep their production units operational, as a labour unrest is ongoing despite meeting workers' demand. Factories in industrial areas such as Ashulia, Zirani, and Zirabo are facing closures daily due to the unrest. "We are demanding safety, and without it, the factories will suffer due to the labour unrest," said Abdullah Hil Rakib, senior vice president of the Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA), at a press conference today at the BGMEA office. The unrest persists in the garment sector even after fulfilling the workers' 18-point demands, as certain groups are spreading rumours, taking advantage of the weak law and order situation, the factory owners said at the press conference.

At one point, agitated workers vandalised at least 5 vehicles of the joint forces forcing the law enforcers to charge batons at them. According to workers, law enforcers also opened fire on protesting workers injuring at least 30 workers. Suman, a worker of Natural Denims, said, "Everyone was working in our factory in the morning. There was no movement in our factory. However, when the workers of Mondol Group started protesting in front of their factory, our workers went there to show solidarity. A few other factory workers also joined there. At that time, the members of the joint forces started charging batons and firing at the workers." Nazim Uddin, manager (admin) of PMK Hospital in Ashulia, told The Daily Star, "Two workers named Nazmul and Habib were brought to our hospital with bullet wounds. They were shifted elsewhere as their condition was critical. Besides, two more injured workers are being treated at our hospital."

What would raising the age limit for govt jobs mean?The debate on raising the age limit for government job recruitment in Bangladesh seems never-ending. After numerous petitions and movements by jobseekers, the Ministry of Public Administration has finally submitted a proposal to raise the entry age to 35 years and the retirement age to 65 years. If this proposal is approved, the long-cherished dream of many to work for the government might come true. However, for an economy as reliant on human capital as Bangladesh, the question remains: how justified is this decision? While some may rejoice at the extended age, others argue it could worsen the job market. For decades, the youth has viewed government jobs as the ultimate career destination, either for the job security they offer, the fringe benefits, or the opportunity to work within the system to contribute to national development.

To create our brand appeal to buyers and consumers alike, we need a long-term, multi-pronged approach. You can see the success that countries like South Korea and India have experienced in their own economies, by pushing their cultural agenda globally, with phenomena like K-Pop and Bollywood. This has created avenues for companies like Samsung, LG, Tata, and Reliance to succeed in the international arena. Bangladesh must first contend with the lack of information that exists out there about our country—the general western individual is unlikely still to be able to identify Bangladesh or where and what it is. To do this, we need visionary government programs to export and promote our culture, heritage, and products.

We need to globalise 'Brand Bangladesh'Bangladesh is at the forefront in many fields, including the ready-made garment, pharmaceuticals, footwear, IT sectors, etc. Despite these achievements, Bangladesh is a preferred supplier to big global brands, for the perceived notion that it is a hub for cheap manpower and products. It is largely because of this perception that international customers believe Bangladesh lacks the proficiency to produce high-quality fabrics and garments, and that Bangladeshi manufacturers or entrepreneurs are unable to innovate. Various campaigns have been conducted by both government and private initiatives to remove this perception about the industries. However, they were not very effective.

However, this is not sufficient. Laws concerning mob justice should be enacted as they are currently absent in the Penal Code, 1860. Additionally, social media platforms should be continuously monitored to combat rumours. Interpersonal communication through organising seminars, workshops and educational campaigns on the consequences of mob justice could foster a sense of accountability, and different programmes can also be broadcast. Social organisations can also come forward to organise peaceful rallies and arrange dialogues among citizens.
