DHAKA, April 28, 2024 (BSS) - Foreign Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud today urged the expatriate Bangladeshis to take action against anti-Bangladesh propaganda in line with the local laws of their respective host countries.

He made this call while inaugurating Austria Awami League's own office in Helbegtus, District No. 20, Vienna, Austria, on Sunday morning, said a foreign ministry's press release here.
 
"Today, under the leadership of Bangabandhu's daughter Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, Bangladesh is advancing at an unstoppable speed on the road to prosperity. To stop this progress, anti-liberation forces are sitting in Europe and spreading propaganda and hatching conspiracy," he said.

Even when the prime minister of Pakistan is lauding the development of Bangladesh, the leaders of BNP do not see the development, he said.

"They are engaged in anti-nation conspiracies by employing paid agents abroad," said Hasan, who is also the joint secretary general of Awami League.

The minister thanked the expatriates for contributing to the development of the country by sending remittances and urged them to send remittances through proper channels.

President of Austria Awami League Khandkar Hafizur Nasim presided over the ceremony while General Secretary Mizanur Rahman Shyamal moderated the event.

All European Awami League President M. Nazrul Islam, Austria Awami League Vice President Ruhi Das Saha, Ratan Saha, Billal Hossain, Saiful Islam Jasim, Journalist Nayan Hossain and Austria Bangabandhu Parishad President Robin Mohammad Ali were also present.
