PM urges youths to build civic skills before joining politics

Prime Minister Tarique Rahman urged students to become skilled, responsible citizens before entering politics while advising them to prioritise cleanliness, tree plantation, and kindness to animals.

Rahman shared the remarks during a courtesy meeting with visiting students at the Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban during a recess in the parliamentary session.

The delegation included 41 HSC GPA-5 achievers from Patgram and Hatibandha upazilas in Lalmonirhat, 27 tenth- and eleventh-graders from The Aga Khan Academy, and 41 law students from BRAC University, accompanied by teachers and guardians.

Expressing hope that the younger generation will take an interest in politics and state governance, Rahman outlined three key directives for the students:

• Cleanliness: Keep cities, homes, and surrounding areas clean by disposing of waste strictly in designated spots.

• Tree Plantation: Plant at least one tree during the monsoon to mark personal or family birthdays.

• Animal Welfare: Treat all animals and birds with kindness and compassion.
