All credit goes to our very hard-working and devoted farmers supported and facilitated by the ministers of agriculture and food under the close supervision of the prime minister.

Bangladesh in many respects is doing tremendously well. Even economically we were doing quite well before the Hefajat, Jamaat and BNP unleashed destructive activities to ruin it.

Good news… in the middle of all the political strife and shutdowns. The conditions of the poor majority of the country are improving in spite of the whole mess… so heartwarming.

Hunger halved or BPL redefined? Given how we put statistics over people, chances are that the 'powers that be' must have reduced the BPL benchmark to bring that line graph down.

Great! Just word of caution regarding GM crops which is slowly taking away the regenerative seeds from the hands of the farmers to big companies.

The UN award should go to 'the people of Bangladesh' and not to the prime minister.
Saleh Tanveer
This is testament to the hard work of the people of Bangladesh; they have achieved this milestone in spite of continuous bad governance by consecutive governments.
