Prime Minister Tarique Rahman has alleged that certain groups are attempting to create unrest in Bangladesh to obstruct the government’s ongoing development programs. He made the remarks on Saturday afternoon in Trishal, Mymensingh, while inaugurating the re-excavation of the historic Dhara Canal on the occasion of the 127th birth anniversary of national poet Kazi Nazrul Islam. Rahman said that those spreading confusion do not speak for farmers or rural development but aim to destabilize the country.

During his speech, the prime minister highlighted several government initiatives, including the re-excavation of canals to support agriculture, the introduction of “Family Cards” for women’s empowerment, and “Farmer Cards” to ensure direct government assistance to about 26.5 million farmers. He also mentioned programs to provide new school uniforms and bags for rural children, honorariums for religious leaders, and expanded technical training for youth employment.

Rahman warned that any unrest would hinder these development efforts and harm rural communities. He urged unity and collective effort to continue national progress, emphasizing that Bangladesh’s 200 million people must work together to build the nation.
