This article made the headline of the Prothom Alo Bangla newspaper this morning. Its about the vast numbers of luxury SUVs brought into Bangladesh tax free using MP licenses.

Basically Members of Parliament get the privillege of importing tax free cars into the country. The majority of whom sell these licenses for cash to luxury car buyes who import these expensive cars duty free. The newspaper reports how MPs sell these licenses illegally and that the government loses out on import duties.

Nope arnab they got it right in the newspaper. Its just the mistake in their website.

Anyways I read this article today morning,and saw the price of Mitsubishi Pajero V6 GLS written 25 lacs BDT. They got some wrong infos but then again I was amazed to see that Cayenne in the headline and thats what made me interested to read this whole article.
