Prime Minister and BNP Chairman Tarique Rahman on Saturday laid the foundation stone of the newly-formed Pekua municipality in the district.
The prime minister laid the foundation stone of the
municipality around 1:30pm. A special prayer was offered following the
ceremonies.
After laying the foundation stone, Tarique greeted
the crowd by waving hand.
Addressing the people, he said, “Twenty-five years
ago Begum Khaleda Zia had laid the foundation stone of Pekua upazila. Today,
the government of her party BNP has once again laid the foundation stone of
this municipality.”
“This repeatedly proves that whenever the BNP is in
state power, it works for the people and for the welfare of the country,” the
prime minister said.
“Even when the BNP is not in power, it works in the
interest of the country and for the welfare of the people. It always speaks for
the common people,” he said.
It’s not a matter whether the BNP is in power or
not. The party’s main concern is the interests of the country and its people,
BNP chairman said adding “This is the BNP’s sole goal and commitment.”
Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed and State Minister
for LGRD and Cooperatives Mir Shahe Alam were present on the occasion.
