Information Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud on Friday said good works must be appreciated along with criticism.
“Negative politics is one of the impediments to the country’s development. Those in charge can be criticised but side-by-side their good works should be appreciated. Otherwise, none would feel encouraged to do good work,” the minister said.
He said this while speaking as chief guest at a discussion at Bangabandhu conference hall of World Trade Centre in the port city.
Dr Anupom Sen, Awami League Advisor, was the main speaker at the discussion presided over by Kazi Akram Uddin Ahmed, member of Awami League Advisory Council.
Chattogram City Mayor AJM Nasir Uddin attended the programme among others.
