We’re also happy as the prime minister has received the award,” the BNP leader said replying to a question at a press conference at its Nayapaltan Central Office in the capital.
Ripon said the prime minister is the second Bangladeshi who got the award. “We’re happy as the prime minister got it,” he added. About the return of hajj pilgrims, the BNP leader said they have to endure huge sufferings on their way back home right from the airport.
He urged the government to take appropriate measures for smooth return of the pilgrims. Turning to the ongoing movement of admission seekers demanding cancellation of the results of MBBS and Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) admission tests, Ripon said their movement is logical and his party supports the movement.
The BNP leader demanded judicial inquiry into the death of UGC official Omar Siraj, arrested over question paper leak of the medical admission tests, in Rab custody.
