, Jan. 6 -- Finance Adviser Dr Salehuddin Ahmed and Energy Adviser Dr Fouzul Kabir Khan on Tuesday described Bangladesh's response to the controversy surrounding cricketer Mustafizur Rahman and the Indian Premier League (IPL) as 'robust and appropriate'.

They also dismissed concerns that the issue could have any adverse economic or commercial impact on the country.

Talking to reporters after the meetings of the Advisers Council Committee on Economic Affairs and Advisers Council Committee on Government Purchase at the Secretariat, the Finance Adviser said the suspension of IPL broadcasts in Bangladesh should not be viewed through an economic or trade lens.
