MEDIA COVERAGE
SOCIAL & POLITICAL
Since my early teenage years I have had a strong interest in the world that I live in; wanting to understand where mine and others’ places can be and are in society; not just locally but globally. I always wanted to work to improve the lives of the people of Bangladesh. I realised getting involved in politics would enable me to work for the social and economic development of Bangladesh. We need change, and we need to act to bring about the change. Long live Bangladesh.
