Gonoshasthaya Kendra founder Dr Zafrullah Chowdhury advised Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to travel to Saudi Arabia to secure the jobs and dignity of migrant workers and to clear the way for them to return to work.
He proposed this, speaking about the ongoing migrant workers crisis at Gonoshasthaya Nagar Hospital in Dhaka on Tuesday.
Zafrullah said: “The country’s ongoing development projects, implementation of the government’s road map, and various mega projects, wouldn’t have been possible without the money sent by migrant workers. Migrants are the architects of Bangladesh, and they are the key to all of these developments.”
“Migrant workers who returned to Bangladesh need to be able to return to the respective countries they work in, and they need tickets. I feel sad when I see the police attacking those who are seeking tickets. It is her [The PM’s] duty to manage hotels and accommodation for those who came to Dhaka from different parts of the country for air tickets,” he added.
