Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) DU Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujiber Rahman Hall unit arranged the programme to observe the 98th birth anniversary of Father of the Nation.

The government, headed by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, will not interfere in the election, Nasim said.

Citing the examples of USA and India he said, there is no confusion that the election will be held like other democratic countries.

According to UNB, the health minister urged all to keep faith in the leadership of Sheikh Hasina for the country's further development.
