bdnews24.com :Senior Awami League leader Syed Ashraful Islam has urged expatriate Bangladeshis in the UK to vote for remaining in the European Union. Britons will vote on Thursday on whether to quit the 28-nation bloc amid warnings from world leaders, investors and companies that a decision to leave would diminish Britain’s influence and unleash turmoil on markets. “I will also vote in this referendum. And I will go for ‘remain’, I ask you to do that as well,” Syed Ashraf, the public administration minister, told a gathering in London organised by party’s UK chapter.”We want the UK to remain with Europe, which will make it strong and benefit Bangladesh,” he said on Tuesday. Bangladesh-origin British MPs Rushanara Ali and Tulip Siddiq have already called the members of their community to vote for ‘remain.’ The referendum, which is being dubbed as ‘Brexit’, have shaken the world with leaders including US president Barack Obama, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Bangladesh Prime Minister Shiekh Hasina calling Britons to vote for not leaving the EU.
