The BNP on Tuesday sang the praises of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina for visiting Rohingya refugees, who fled their homeland in Myanmar on facing persecution.
“The prime minister went to Ukhiya [Cox's Bazar] today (Tuesday). We learned that she has distributed relief goods there,” said the party’s Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir.
He made the above statement at a discussion held in Dhaka’s Institution of Engineers, Bangladesh, reports UNB.
