He made this remark as chief guest while speaking at a reception ceremony for GPA-5 achievers organized by Metropolitan Chhatra Shakti at the Narayanganj District Shilpakala Academy at noon on Monday (October 12).

Raising the issue of fertilizer dealer appointments, Hasnat Abdullah said that in that process, incidents of MPs’ sons and daughters and relatives getting dealerships or cards have been seen. He claimed that even if the government introduces a jobless card, family members of influential people will benefit first.

Regarding the appointment of the Vice-Chancellor of Chittagong University of Engineering and Technology (CUET), he said teachers and students do not want the current Vice-Chancellor. He also alleged that the chair had to be occupied with some Chhatra Dal members. According to him, such activities are an attempt to push the country backward again.

MP for Narayanganj-4 Abdullah Al Amin, NCP metropolitan convener Shawkat Ali, district convener Jubayer Sardar, and metropolitan Chhatra Shakti convener Comrade Aminul Islam were present at the event.
