Seeking apology to the people who are suffering due to price hike of essential commodities, Law Adviser Asif Nazrul has said the government is working hard and making joint efforts to improve the situation.

"I am seeking apology to you. I feel so bad. This is intolerable to us. We are working very hard. We are working together," he said.

The law adviser made the remarks when Daily Manabzamin Chief Editor Matiur Rahman Chowdhury wanted to know about the issue during a programme titled "Ajker Patrika" hosted by Channel I late Thursday night.

Asif said the impact of the floods is reducing and the winter is approaching. "We expect the situation will improve to a great extent. In some areas, the situation has already started improving," he added.

The law adviser said it was a syndicate involved in importing commodities during the previous government.

He acknowledged that the syndicate is very powerful, noting that it is not that much easy.

The government is doing in every possible way to deal with the issues of essential commodities and highlighted the steps taken so far in cooling down the market, Asif said.

He said this is an issue that gives mental pains to all of them in the government.
