RANGPUR, Dec 18, 2024 (BSS) - Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami (BJI) today handed over blankets among 500 cold-stricken poor and distressed people here to mitigate their sufferings.

Party's Rangpur metropolitan unit organised a function on distribution of blankets as its Assistant Secretary General and Rangpur-Dinajpur region's director Maulana Abdul Halim said his party will not eat up state resources if it comes to power.

Halim was addressing the occasion held at Barabari Boyez Uddin High School ground in the city as the chief guest on Wednesday afternoon.
