BNP admits anti-Padma Bridge role as it didn’t hail the feat: Hasan Mahmud

Information and Broadcasting Minister Dr. Hasan Mahmud today said neighboring India, the US and Pakistan extended greetings to the government as Bangladesh opened the biggest self-financed Padma Bridge but the irony is BNP could not hail the feat.

“Though all Bangladeshis at home and abroad have been happy at the Padma Bridge opening, BNP leaders couldn’t be happy and thus they have admitted that they hatched a conspiracy against Padma Bridge by failing to extend congratulations,” he said.

He said the Padma Bridge has been built for all and those who failed to praise the feat will also use the bridge.

Hasan, also Awami League Joint General Secretary, said these while exchanging views with journalists at the Secretariat here.

He extended thanks to journalists for presenting the auspicious occasion of the Padma Bridge opening to people all over the country and the world.
Different international media covered the grand opening ceremony and Padma Bridge was depicted as the symbol of capacity and pride of the nation and “This pride is for all of us.”

“Our journalist friends, every television channel and newspapers made series reports on Padma Bridge opening since the beginning of June and they portrayed emotions and enthusiasm of the nation. Thanks to all media persons,” he said.
