Malaysia BNP celebrates Ziaur Rahman's birth anniversary

BNP Malaysia branch founding president Dr. Ahmed Borhan has commented that if BNP founder martyr President Ziaur Rahman were alive, Bangladesh would have become a self-sufficient country where no one would have to go abroad on a worker visa.  

He made the remarks while speaking as the chief guest at a discussion organized to mark the 89th birth anniversary of President Ziaur Rahman at a restaurant in the capital Kuala Lumpur on Sunday.
