Prime Minister Tarique Rahman on Sunday advised students to keep their homes and surroundings clean, plant at least one tree during the monsoon season and show kindness to all living creatures including animals and birds

The advice came during a courtesy meeting with students visiting the Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban during a break in the parliamentary session, said Prime Minister's Deputy Press Secretary Shahadat Hossain Shadhin.

The visiting groups included 41 students from different educational institutions in Patgram and Hatibandha upazilas of Lalmonirhat who secured GPA-5 in the 2026 HSC examinations along with six teachers and guardians, 27 students of grades 10 and 11 from The Aga Khan Academy, accompanied by six teachers, and 41 students and two teachers from the Department of Law at BRAC University.

The Prime Minister advised them to keep their towns, homes and surroundings clean and dispose of waste only at designated places instead of throwing it away indiscriminately.

He also asked them to plant at least one tree during the monsoon season on their own or a family member's birthday and show kindness and compassion towards all living creatures including animals and birds.

Tarique expressed hope that the younger generation would take an interest in politics and state affairs.

However, he advised them to first develop themselves as qualified, skilled and responsible citizens before becoming involved in politics.

Earlier, the students attended a briefing at the Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban.

They also visited the parliamentary library and witnessed a live session of parliament before taking part in a photo session at the building's North Plaza.

Information Minister Andaleeve Rahman, State Minister for Local Government, Rural Development and Cooperatives Mir Shahe Alam, Prime Minister's Press Secretary Saleh Shibly, Additional Press Secretary Atikur Rahman Rumon and Private Secretary-2 to the Prime Minister Mehedul Islam, among others, were present.
