They show total disregard for public's feelings

We are a nation that loves to make records which would be included in the Guinness Book of Records. On December 16, 2013 Bangladesh made the world's largest human flag, while on March 26, 2014 we made another world record: 2.5 lakh people sang the national anthem together. We spent a huge amount of money for organising these two events. We heard that more than 50 crore taka was spent for singing the national anthem.

Now we are going to make another world record. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has gone to the US with a 185-member delegation which is perhaps the largest ever in Bangladesh's history! Hard earned money of the people is being wasted for the pleasure trips of many who have no role to play in the United Nations General Assembly. These people will spend their time shopping, sightseeing and relaxing in the luxurious hotels.

By taking this huge entourage the ruling party has shown total disregard for people's feelings. They are in power and will do anything they wish.
