Mohammad Nasim said, “BNP and Jamaat have dug their own graves by pursuing politics of killing and taking people as hostages. They tried to jeopardise the country’s development retarding economic growth unleashing arson and vandalism. But, people of the country foiled their evil activities.”
He said, “The country has been marching ahead under the capable and farsighted leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who was applauded in the community of nations for facing successfully the adverse impact of climate change. She has already been decorated with the United Nations highest award on environment affairs-Champions of the Earth. It’s a glory for the nation.”
