The Prime Minister has given a strong reply to criticism on social media over making Md. Tareq Rahman, member secretary of the Aamjanata Party, a travel companion on a state visit. Speaking at a view-exchange meeting with expatriate Bangladeshis in Tokyo, Japan, on Wednesday, he said time is being wasted on unnecessary discussion and gossip, setting aside the many crises in ordinary people's living standards and livelihoods.
The Prime Minister said that although there are many major problems in the country, unnecessary talk is being made about Tareq without paying attention to them. Emphasizing the improvement of ordinary people's living standards, he said that reforms to make the lives of working people easier and better are also a major reform. Meanwhile, before going to Japan, Md. Tareq Rahman expressed gratitude on social media for being able to accompany the Prime Minister on his first foreign trip.
