Mokabbir Khan thinks that it is necessary to unite everyone again like in 1971 when the people fought for the independence of the country.
He said that national unity can be created through free, fair, and impartial elections.
"The wheels of the economy will move. Investors' confidence will return. The country will reach the desired goal. Economic zones will be activated," he said.
Regarding the 100 economic zones, Mokabbir Khan said that it was said that 1 crore people will be employed when the work is complete by 2030.
"But that is questionable today. At present domestic and foreign investors are losing interest."
Referring to a recent survey published by the Japan External Trade Organisation, he said that 71 percent of Japan's large investment companies are not satisfied with the investment environment in the country.
