The Prime Minister called upon expatriate Bangladeshis to look into the matter so that the indomitable pace of the country's development could not be hampered. "Don't leave the country to the grips of looters, otherwise it will be destroyed and make sure that the country's journey towards development continues without any disruption," she said.
