PM Tarique Rahman Pledges to Reopen Factories and Restore Labor Rights

On the occasion of International Workers' Day, Prime Minister Tarique Rahman announced a comprehensive plan to revitalize the country's industrial sector and safeguard the rights of the working class.

Addressing a massive rally at Nayapaltan, the Prime Minister condemned the previous autocratic regime for exploiting laborers and turning the national economy into a playground for plunderers. He vowed that all factories closed during the past years would be reopened to create employment and restore economic balance.

In his keynote speech, the Prime Minister emphasized that his government’s focus is on sustainable livelihood rather than temporary measures. He highlighted initiatives such as 'Family Cards' for workers' wives, loan waivers for farmers, and the reintroduction of the 'Canal Digging' project to ensure water supply in rural areas. He asserted that the destiny of Bangladesh is intricately linked with the prosperity of its farmers and laborers, and only by empowering them can the nation achieve true progress.
