NCP leader Sargis Alam has alleged that Sheikh Hasina personally called and thanked the man who threw eggs at Akhtar Hossain in the U.S. Writing on social media, he questioned: “How small-minded must someone be to act this way? What happens to a nation when such a person remains Prime Minister for 16 years?” He expressed gratitude that Bangladesh had been freed from what he described as Hasina’s vindictive and narrow-minded leadership.
