Tongi: BNP Standing Committee member and Narsingdi-2 lawmaker Dr Abdul Moyeen Khan today said the present parliament will play an effective role in ensuring freedom of speech for all. He emphasized that anyone can speak freely in the current parliament, but discussions should be based on logic and argument, rather than emotion. He added that debate among political parties with differing opinions is a normal part of a democratic system.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, the veteran BNP leader made these remarks while speaking as the chief guest at the orientation ceremony for the 27th batch of students at Gutia International Medical College in Tongi this morning. Dr Moyeen Khan urged the new students to develop themselves into skilled physicians with humane values.
The event was chaired by the college’s principal, Prof A.S.M. Iqbal Hossain Chowdhury, and featured special guests including Munira Azim, Chairman of International Medicare Limited; M. A. Mubin Khan, Managing Director and Chairman of the IMC Governing Body; and Colonel Dr. Sajjad Ahmed A. K. Khan Jillani, Director of the Medical College.
College authorities reported that a total of 130 students, both domestic and international, have been admitted for the current academic year. Among them, 55 are international students from various regions, including India, Nepal, and Kashmir. Following the ceremony, the new students participated in a tree-plantation program on the campus.
