Few days back, popular actor Riaz got out of his car and started to pick up garbage and leftovers from the streets in front of Jatiya Sangsad. With gloves on his hands, he carried a bin-bag where he started to place all the trash he picked up from the street side.
Afterwards, Riaz challenged the audience to do the same. To participate in this challenge, one needs to clean any area, take photos or record videos of that it and post it on his/her Facebook profile with the hashtag- #PBChallenge. Audiences also need to tag at least three people as an invitation to take part in this challenge.
Riaz started this #PBChallenge as part of “Dettol-Channel i Porichchonno Bangladesh Powered by Harpic” campaign.
Many joined Riaz in this cleaning with enthusiasm, collecting plastic bottles, packets, pieces of papers and other leftovers and placing all those things in the bin bag.
“My purpose is to see the country clean,”Riaz said, “Look at our Parliament House. Such a wonderful structure, such a beautiful place, but look around it- we are littering. We are having a cup of tea or coffee and throwing away the cups here and there. We are dumping empty packets of jhalmuri, chips and cigarettes everywhere.”
He further said: “If we act with a little responsibility, this effort and the whole team of 'Dettol-Channel i Porichchonno Bangladesh Powered by Harpic' campaign will be fruitful.”
Previously, he asked people for suggestions on how to keep Bangladesh clean and almost everyone’s opinion was to take the responsibility in their own hands.
