Madaripur, Feb 27 (V7N) — State Minister for Labor, Expatriates’ Welfare and Overseas Employment Nurul Haque Nur said on Friday that the recent mass uprising has shown that people want change in politics and desire leaders who are accountable to the public.

The government is working to stand by the people through this initiative.”

The minister emphasized that the July mass uprising reflected the public’s demand for leaders who prioritize the welfare of citizens and uphold accountable governance.
