He further said Prime Minister Tarique Rahman is working tirelessly with the aim of building a self-reliant nation free from dependence on others.
The minister said that when India and Myanmar had begun extracting gas from the Bay of Bengal, the autocratic government took no step to protect it. Now an initiative has been taken to explore for and extract gas from the Bay of Bengal. If gas extraction becomes possible, power generation will increase and it will be possible to stand with head held high on the world stage.
