Sheikh Hasina called upon all to take the COVID-19 vaccine and maintain
health safety guidelines, wearing facemasks and washing hands, to remain
protected from the virus as the effectiveness of the vaccine is still under
research.

guidelines properly to remain protected as how much the COVID-19
vaccine is effective is at the stage of research,” she said.

COVID-19 vaccine due to effective measures taken in advance, adding that
many countries are yet to collect the vaccine.

activists to read the already published seven volumes of the Pakistani
intelligence branch reports against the Father of the Nation to know the
real facts about the Language Movement.

in the constitution formulated by the Awami League government in 1956.
“The AL did everything relating to establishing the Central Shaheed Minar
and announcing February 21 as the Shaheed Dibas in 1956,” she
continued.

rights of their mother tongue, the Prime Minister said Bangladesh has a
responsibility to preserve all mother tongues across the globe.

International Mother Language Institute and a Language Museum in the
