‘There is no alternative to reading books on building Bangabandhu’s Sonar Bangla and Sheikh Hasina’s Smart Bangladesh. The slogan of this year’s book fair is ‘Read books, Build the country; Bangabandhu’s Bangladesh’. To face any challenge of the future, the habit of reading books should be developed in every home. The book reading movement should be given more importance to build a smart Bangladesh under the leadership of the prime minister Sheikh Hasina.
