According to these rights, our future policy will be observed. We are talking about rights -based policy, we are talking about the services policy, we are talking about the policy of the manifesto to take everyone, ”he added.

“Dr. Yunus does not represent Jamat or BNP, Dr. Yunus represents the uprising and all the advisors represent the uprising. They do not represent any political party,” he said.
