Jatiya Sangsad (JS) Chief Whip ASM Feroze yesterday said Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has awakened the world conscience about the Rohingya issue in a bid to resolve the crisis reports BSS.
“Sheikh Hasina urged the world leaders to create pressure on Myanmar for repatriating the Rohingyas, taken shelter in Bangladesh. Responding to her call, they have already condemned the genocide (in Myanmar),” a press release quoted the chief whip as telling a discussion in the capital yesterday.
