BNP to stand by distressed: Tarek

Tarek was addressing the cold-affected people in the district while distributing warm clothes among the distressed at Dimla, Domar and Sadar upazilas (Uzs) on Wednesday. He was on a four-day tour to the northern districts to see for himself the misery of cold-affected people.

During his address he criticised the role of opposition party saying when thousands of people suffer in severe cold, the opposition party, in stead of coming forward to help them, remains busy in making propaganda against the ruling party. He told that with limited resources we try to stand by the cold-stricken people. He pointed out that those who did politics with people's miseries went missing.
