JPC thanks PM for promise
to build its 31-storey bldg

Jatiya Press Club President Muhammad Shafiqur Rahman, on behalf of all members, yesterday expressed sincere thanks and gratitude to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina for promising in her party's election manifesto to construct the proposed 31-storey building of the club if Awami League comes to power again. “Bangabandhu had provided the land for the press club and you (PM) promised to build a 31-storey modern press club building when we drew your attention to this four years back. We named the building as “Jatiya Press Club Bangabandhu Media Complex,” he said in a statement. The JPC president described the prime minister as friendlier to journalists as she is people-friendly, said a press release. On October 20, 2016, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina laid the foundation stone of the proposed building at a programme of the club marking its founding anniversary.
