AB Party leader Asaduzzaman Fuad said, “When we first protested against the Awami League, many thought we were foolish. Today, it’s clear we were right. You must convince your relatives in Bangladesh that old-style politics cannot solve the country’s issues. They need to embrace new political programs and leadership.” He added that migrant workers and garment workers, many of whom are children of farmers, contribute more to the economy than people in suits and ties. He also criticized passport delays and the prolonged closure of the Malaysian labor market, urging the government to protect the backbone of the nation’s economy — its working class.
