DHAKA: Commerce Minster and also ruling Awami League (AL)’s advisory council member Tofail Ahmed said that Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has been developing the country by fulfilling the incomplete works of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.

The minister made this observation at a celebration program on Sheikh Hasina’s historic homecoming on May 17 in city’s Dhanmondi area.

According to him, the decision of making Sheikh Hasina as the president of Awami League in 1981 has been proved right over the years.
