The prime minister further said Awami League’s election manifesto must focus on issues that are important to young voters.

Draft of Company (Amendment) Law approved
The Cabinet approved, in principle, the draft of Company (Amendment) Law, 2018 in Monday’s meeting, incorporating a provision that allows the formation of a “one-man” company, reported BSS.
“The proposed law defines a ‘one-man company’ as a company that is formed with one person,” Cabinet Secretary Mohammad Shafiul Alam told reporters at a post-meeting briefing.
The Cabinet secretary further said the proposed amendment to the company law brought a new concept that has been unfamiliar to the country’s business sector so far.
“This concept does not exist in our current law, but different other countries have this provision,” he added.
The Cabinet also approved the draft of Bangladesh Film and Television Institute (Amendment) Law, 2018, aimed at further developing the country’s film and television media.
The Cabinet further approved a proposal to celebrate December 12 as “Digital Bangladesh Day,” instead of “National Information & Communication Technology Day.”
