Expressing confidence in the government in the current political situation, the opposition leader said that Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is making every effort to maintain the peace, stability and development of the country. There are some restrictions like corruption, mismanagement of the economy and price hike of essential commodities. The Prime Minister is aware of these issues. The Russia-Ukraine war has caused serious economic problems. It has also affected our country. So we all should be more alert and cooperate with the government to face the challenge.
