“Jashore is an old district of the British period. As an old district, Jashore has not been affected by development. The people of Jashore have been deprived of their just rights. A center needs to be built around this town. There are no parks “There are no fields, no watersheds. They (previous governments) talk about development before coming to power, but when they come to power, they forget,” he said.

No, it has changed hands. People did it. Don’t become martyrs for this. We should not betray the blood of martyrs. Doing these heinous acts would betray the martyrs.

Talking about equal rights for all people in the country, the Jamaat leader said that there is no minority in the country.
