Dhaka, August 13: Various discussions and criticisms have started around a comment of Foreign Minister Dr. AK Abdul Momen. He explained his statement. At the same time, the minister also complained that the journalists had 'twisted' his speech.

On Saturday (August 13) afternoon, after the scholarship awarding ceremony organized by Sylhet Zilla Parishad, the foreign minister told reporters, "I spoke about heaven, comparative to other countries (compared to other countries). And you have written everywhere 'he said heaven', it means it has been twisted. You didn't say that our inflation is lower than other countries.

He said, I said, we are much better than other countries and we are in heaven compared to them.

Incidentally, the foreign minister told reporters after the exchange meeting on 'Land Acquisition' in the Sylhet MAG Osmani International Airport expansion project yesterday, that the people of Bangladesh are better off than other countries in the global recession. We are happy, in heaven. Bangladesh will become Sri Lanka is a party that is threatening to spread panic. It has no basis. But we are in a challenge right now. We are also in a bit of trouble due to the global recession. But we have enough reserves. As a forewarning we are trying to be a bit frugal.

After that, discussion-criticism started nationwide around the minister's 'I am happy, I am in heaven' comment. His comments are widely criticized on social media.
