About his coming to his home constituency after a long period, Quader, a member of parliament from Noakhali-5 (Companiganj-Kabirhat), said, "I could not come to my area for a long period due to my illness. I couldn't offer jiarat at the graves of my parents. Now I am happy as I offered jiarat and I met the people of my area on Thursday."
"I did everything required for my area during the Covid-19 situation. My relations with my locality did not cut off ever. I sent required oxygen concentrators, relief goods, and food during the crisis. ICU facilities were also ensured," he said.
The minister said he felt happy coming to his voters.
Earlier, the minister reached his residence at 11:00am and offered jiarat at his parents' graves.
Later, he exchanged Eid greetings with the common people, leaders, and workers of his party. From there, he went to Upazila Dak-Bungalow to meet local party leaders and workers and extended Eid greetings to them.
