Prime Minister Tarique Rahman has called on Bangladeshi expatriates to shift their focus from individual demands to national contribution, urging them to consider what they can give back to their country. Speaking at a gathering of expatriates in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Rahman emphasized that personal retribution would not benefit Bangladesh or its people. Rahman, now leading the country, stated he would not leverage state power for revenge, despite the hardships he and his family faced under the "1/11 military-backed caretaker administration." He recalled personal suffering, including his mother Khaleda Zia being denied an ambulance during a critical illness, but stressed that such actions would be counterproductive. Expressing optimism for Bangladesh's future, the Prime Minister asserted, "We have no reason to be hopeless. Bangladesh has a very bright and beautiful future." However, he cautioned that realizing this potential requires collective hard work and patience. He acknowledged that the current government inherited multiple crises, including significant debt, administrative disorder, and near-collapsed health and education systems, but assured that these issues are being addressed. Rahman also highlighted various government initiatives, such as the Family Card program, canal excavation projects, child welfare measures, language training, and digital development efforts, as steps toward progress. He urged citizens, both at home and abroad, to embrace a mindset of contribution, stating, "From today, let us think about what we can do for the country. Let this be our thought, let this be our wish."

Now, at this very moment, BNP is in charge of running the country. I am the prime minister. If I want, I can take revenge out of personal anger. But if I do that, can you tell me what the benefit would be? There would be no benefit.
