“I call the People to move across the country to see the development of the country which has been done under Sheikh Hasina government,” he added

He also said, “Whenever I go different countries in the world, there I’m not asked to stand in separate line for coming from Bangladesh, but peoples of many countries respect Bangladesh and ask the reason behind quick development of the county.”

With BCL President Rezwanul Haque Chowdhury Shovon in the chair, among others, AL advisory committee member Khandoker Bazlul Haque and BCL general secretary Golam Rabbani addressed the function.
