The premier opened the programme at the Hajj camp in the capital\u2019s Ashkona through a virtual platform from her official residence Ganabhaban.<\/p>\n

She also called upon the hajj pilgrims to pray for Bangladesh so that the country and its people can remain protected from the natural disasters and pandemics like Covid-19 as well as get decent lives.<\/p>\n

\u201cBangladesh is making economic progress today. So, pray so that we can move ahead in the development journey and every person of the country can get scope for their foods, clothes, shelter, medicare and education, and thus get an improved and decent life,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Hasina also asked the pilgrims to abide by the rules and laws of Saudi Arabia while performing their hajj rituals there. \u201cIt is the duty for all of us to uphold the country\u2019s dignity. Keep it in mind,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

The first hajj flight, carrying 419 pilgrims, from Bangladesh is scheduled to depart for Saudi Arabia on Sunday next.

Of them, 57,585 hajj pilgrims are from Bangladesh.<\/p>\n

Before the Covid-19 pandemic, 127,198 pilgrims from Bangladesh performed hajj in 2019.<\/p>\n

She exchanged pleasantries with the pilgrims and requested them to offer prayers for the people of Bangladesh and her family members who were brutally killed in 1975.<\/p>\n
