Meanwhile, after the recent meeting with the leaders of US Awami League in Dhaka, the Prime Minister has assured the leaders and activists that like last year, she will address the expatriates at the virtual civic reception organized by US Awami League in New York (Saturday, September 24). President of the Awami League Dr. Siddiqur Rahman and Acting General Secretary Abdus Samad Azad confirmed this. After hearing the news of the virtual civic reception, the Awami League leaders and activists of various states including the United States Awami League are disappointed. They are eager to see Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in person. For the last 2 years, the leaders and activists are somewhat disappointed that the Prime Minister has not been seen in person. Therefore, the Bangladeshis living in the United States, including the leaders and activists of Awami League and organizations, have demanded to see Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in person at this year's civic reception.
