"When the conflict started in Myanmar, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina opened the border and ordered Rohingyas to enter Bangladesh. At the same time, the prime minister said that if the people of Bangladesh can eat, they will share that food with the Rohingyas. That is why our prime minister has been given the title of Mother of Humanity by the international community," he added.
"Bangladesh government is trying to ensure all kinds of humanitarian assistance to the Rohingyas. The violence among the Rohingyas has already been brought under control," he further said.
