Bangladesh is and will always remain beside the freedom-seeking people of Palestine, Environment, Forest and Climate Change Minister Saber Hossain Chowdhury said on Sunday.

"The highest violation of human rights is in Palestine. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina condemned Israel's aggression in Palestine. Bangladesh will stand by Palestine until the liberation of Palestine," he said.

He was speaking at a food distribution ceremony supported by organization of Islamic Cooperation, Embassies of OIC countries, Kuwait Society for Relief-Bangladesh Office and Society for Social and Technological Support as the chief guest here.

In this ceremony, the people of ward number 71 and 72 under Mugda police station of Dhaka-9 Constituency received Eid gifts as courtesy of Kuwait.

Saber also said that Father of Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman has contributed a lot to Islam in Bangladesh.

"He made Bangladesh a member of OIC," he added.

"This time we have helped 25 thousand families. Even if there are four members in each family, we have helped one lakh people. Arrangements are being made for them to celebrate Eid happily with their loved ones. Let us all stand with the common people," he said.

Yousef SY Ramadan, Ambassador of Palestine to Bangladesh said:" We will never forget the contribution of Bangladeshi brothers and sisters. When Palestine will become independent, we will remember with respect, the brothers and sisters of Bangladesh were by our side."
