BSS photo Awami League Joint General Secretary Mahbubul Alam has voiced his support for Bangladesh-India rail connectivity, saying that it is driving force for the country's economic development.
Many countries across the world have such connectivity and it is nothing new, he told reporters in Kushtia on Friday morning.
“Modernization and development of communication systems are the main driving force for the economic development of a country. The criticism of the BNP leaders regarding rail connectivity will not bring any benefit to the country,” he added.
Hanif also said that the falsehood spread by BNP leaders over the cases of Khaleda Zia is not acceptable.
“BNP leaders are claiming that the government has detained Khaleda Zia by lodging false cases against her, which is not acceptable at all,” said Hanif.
Terming it as a part of extreme falsehood by the BNP, he said the ruling Awami League government did not file the cases against the BNP chief; rather, the cases have been filed by the caretaker government.
The court sentenced her as the BNP lawyers have failed to prove her [Khaleda Zia] not guilty, he added.
On load shedding, the ruling party leader said, “Although electricity production has increased to a great extent, load shedding is occurring due to problems in supply lines.”
“This problem will be resolved soon,” he said.
