“Pabna: Haripur Union Parishad organizes exchange meetings with 5,000 beneficiaries under the government’s social protection umbrella. On Wednesday (November 15), a consensus meeting was arranged in Haripur, Chatmohar, where Member of Parliament M. Mokbul Hossein from Pabna-3 (Chatmohar, Bhangura, Faridpur) constituency attended as the chief guest.
Addressing the gathering, the chief guest stated that the current government, under the umbrella of social protection, provides various types of allowances for the general population. In the past, they engaged in corruption in the name of development during the previous government. Today, the country’s peace and stability are being compromised due to anti-liberation forces echoing the words of foreign masters. People are suffering, and incidents of arson, including setting fire to vehicles, are occurring. They are plotting conspiracies.
They are ready to come to power. Therefore, he urged the beneficiaries to vote for the boat symbol in the upcoming elections. If the boat wins, and Sheikh Hasina becomes the Prime Minister, all types of allowances and facilities for rice will be increased, he added.
The event was chaired by Mohammad Redwanul Halim, Executive Officer of Chatmohar Upazila.
