"If Bangabandhu had survived, Bangladesh could have reached its current economic position in the mid-eighties, and the country would have been a developed country by now" said FBCCI President Sheikh Fazle Fahim on Saturday.
He said under Bangabandhu's able leadership, the GDP growth was 9.2 percent in 1975. Bangabandhu had sown the seeds of development of all kinds in the interest of the masses.
