    Prime Minister Tarique Rahman today said the government wants to build Bangladesh as a welfare state through people-oriented initiatives to improve people’s living standards.

    In this connection, he urged all to remain patient and vigilant against attempts to create disorder and impede the country’s development.

    “Our goal is to build a welfare state. That is why we are taking various measures for the welfare of the people. We have already started implementing different programmes, including the Family Card,” he said.

    The Prime Minister made the remarks while addressing a public gathering after releasing fish fry into the Brahmaputra River at Mirzapur Chairman Bari Ghat in Pakundia this afternoon.

    Referring to the support extended by thousands of people to his government’s development plans, he said the people would benefit if the plans are implemented properly.

    “So, I want to tell you to maintain the trust you placed in the party in the February 12 election,” he said.

    The Prime Minister urged the people to keep their trust in the BNP and assured them that the party would remain committed to their welfare and the country’s development.

    “The government was formed with the support of the people. You placed your trust in the BNP through that support. I want to make it clear: InshaAllah, maintain that trust. The BNP was with you, is with the people of Bangladesh and will remain with the people of Bangladesh,” he added.
