Awami League presidium member, central 14-party spokesman and health and family welfare minister Mohammad Nasim said that international pressure has been created to send back Rohingya refugees fleeing Myanmar to save their lives and save lives. Everyone stood beside Bangladesh. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's diplomatic success has created a consensus on sending Rohingya people back to Myanmar around the world.

He said this while addressing a roundtable discussion on 'Finalizing the policy of health improvement surcharge policy and National Tobacco Control Policy' at Samakal office in Tejgaon on Sunday. Samakal and anti-tobacco organizations jointly organized this program. The health minister said, there have been obstacles in the control of Tobacco Control at different times, but we did not go back. These two policies will take a little more time to prepare but they will be passed quickly. The Prime Minister will talk about these two policies personally in the first meeting of the cabinet after returning home after the United States tour. The Minister expressed his hope that the Prime Minister will make the final decision with the approval of these two policies. According to the Prime Minister's announcement, the government is working to build a tobacco-free Bangladesh before 2040, he said.

Describing the need for coordinating the control of tobacco control, Mohammad Nasim said that it is not possible to control the health ministry alone. With this, industry, trade, agriculture, finance, home and law ministry will work together. The country's biggest lawyers stood in court in protest against the government's move to control tobacco. Many big people have called me by phone. But I did not protect anyone's request.
