Due to well-orchestrated propaganda against Bangladeshi textile and apparel industry by infamous leftist leader Mushrefa Mishu and her crony named Nicholas William Gomes, one of the biggest international apparel buyers, Coles has suspended buying from a textile factory in Bangladesh after they received propaganda materials from Mushrefa Mishu-William Gomes gangs giving fake information of workers being beaten, fired and imprisoned in a battle over wages and other rights. For years, Mushrefa Mishu and Nicholas William Gomes have been running anti-Bangladesh activities being funded by textile exporters from India and China to damage the export market of Bangladeshi textile products. They are assisted by a number of international organizations, which also are hired by the Sino-Indian textile exporters. Nicholas William Gomes, who is known to law enforcing agencies in Bangladesh as a women trafficker was picked up by Murshrefa Mishu, few months back as her main comrade to run the anti-Bangladesh show. Nicholas William Gomes, an absconder, who went into hiding months back, when a number of criminal allegations brought against him turned true. It is also learnt that Nicholas William Gomes has been shuttling between Bangladesh, India and Nepal on a regular basis, whereas, most of such travels are without any valid travel document.
Justifying the cancellation of orders with Bangladesh apparel exporters, Coles said, the Institute for Global Labor and Human Rights, a US-based organization, wrote to Coles managing director Ian McLeod last month, outlining the workers' allegations of gross abuses. These included below minimum pay rates of 16c to 22c an hour, unpaid overtime and holiday leave, and being forced to work up to 84 hours a week. As well, workers were subjected to "routine sexual harassment, beatings, mass firing, corporal punishment and imprisonment on false charges."
It is also learnt that, Mushrefa Mishu and Nicholas William Gomes gang are currently continuing various propaganda against the Bangladeshi textile and apparel industry with the ulterior motive of turning back a number of top-ranking buyers such as Wal-Mart from buying any product from Bangladesh. The anti-Bangladesh group as well as business rivals are investing significant amount of money on Mushrefa Mishu and Nicholas William Gomes with the ulterior motive of destroying the prospective export market of Bangladeshi products.http://www.weeklyblitz.net/2238/conspiracy-against-bangladeshi-apparel-industry
