Mosharraf stresses development at grassroots

FARIDPUR, Feb 14  (BSS):  Overseas Employment and Expatriates Welfare Minister Engineer Khondoker Mosharraf Hossain has said the present government of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has planned expediting development at the grassroots to make Bangladesh a middle income country within a shortest possible time.

Mr Mosharraf said this while addressing a big public rally on Khalilpur High School ground under Sadar upazila here on Friday.

The minister said Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is relentlessly working to make Bangladesh a happy and prosperous country and urged the people to extend their support to her in this regard.

 Mr Mosharraf announced that from now  10,000 people will go to Saudi Arabia every month with jobs as the Bangladesh manpower market opened in that country after a long seven-year closure.

Criticising the BNP-Jamaat clique for killing innocent people in the name of blockade and hartal programmes, he said the heinous attempts of the group will not be successful in denting the strong foundation of the present government.
