Planning Minister AHM Mostafa Kamal Friday claimed that Awami League government created 1.3 million jobs last year.
“Last year we created job opportunity for 1.3 million and sent 1 million abroad,” said the minister at a post-budget press conference in the city.
Finance Minister AMA Muhiht placed budget for 2018-19 fiscal Thursday.
Kamal said, “There were 1.3 million people who used to work in household but were not paid, but this government has brought them under formal employment system.”
There were many, who considered Bangladesh as global beggar, but those days are over and finance minister had played a crucial role in this regard, he said.
